Instead of a ๐New Year's Resolution, I chose a word to guide me. My word for 2022 was ๐ฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
My goal was to attempt to move through life according to my values and beliefs. Funny, I had taught the importance of values to leaders and teams for years, but not sure I really took the time to consider my own to guide my life and more specifically my career.
So, I had to start first with identifying my life values. Not as easy as it sounds, or at least not for me. But it is worth the efforts.

I discovered in my transition from Corporate HR Executive to Career Coach and Consultant, that it is the best place to start to ๐ญ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ, rather than default.
When you Identify your values you can be better in choosing behaviors and making decisions that will take you in the career direction that aligns with your life values.
When that alignment is met--magic can happen. Our energy and passion is greater, our thinking is clearer and we start to tear down self-imposed limitations.
I know it worked for me. After working for close to 30 years for others it never crossed my mind that I could be an entrepreneur. But here I am, finishing up my first full year!
I haven't decided yet what my word will be for 2023 yet, but I know that living intentionally will go with me no matter what it is.
