2009 goal setting made simple!

January 3rd, 2009 Posted in Blog, Communications, Community, Uncategorized

Hi and Happy 2009!
I’m actually really excited for this year. I had not considered any “new year’s resolutions” until my daughter asked me if I had made any. Heck, I gave up on those a long time ago. Instead, I’ve replaced them with more of an ongoing “sanity check”. What am I up to? Is it in contribution? Am I making a difference? Sometimes I find myself off track more than on track, but I keep at it.

3 simple words
So, because my daughter asked, I decided to think about what I wanted to be up to this year. Then, I was catching up on my blog reading and came across Chris Brogan’s blog on goal setting. We were on the same wavelength - instead of big, hairy goals, keep it simple. Chris suggested coming up with 3 simple words that could serve as goals. I used this concept in a leadership program before and it makes a lot of sense. So, I’ll stick with 3 again and here are my words for ‘09:

Inspire — myself and others to make a difference, get involved, think and play big. We can all inspire and be inspirational. Inspiration isn’t limited to those with fancy titles, big jobs or lots of money
Trust
— just do it
Fun — have and make lots of it!

What are your 3 words?
If you come up with 3 words for your new year, feel free to share them here. Let us know how we can inspire and support you in reaching your goals. Trust me. It’s going to be fun!
