026: How to make 2021 the year you soar (part 1)

Let’s talk about 2021.

I want you to have the best year yet in 2021. I want it to be the year that you change things and make that big step up in progress that you’ve been dreaming of.

I want you to know that everything is possible in 2021. Especially after a year like this year.

But how do you do that? How do you ensure that a year can and will go well?

Well if 2020 has taught us anything, its that the best-laid plans can go sideways for all of us. Life really does throw a lot of curveballs from time-to-time.

But what I do know, from personal experience and from the experience of coaching some simply inspirational women in tech, is that good planning isn’t about having a single plan that you stick to 100% and then feel let down by life when the world throws us a year like 2020. No great planning is about knowing what we want and the options for getting there.

If you are wondering how on Earth this works, and why myself and many of my clients have been having great years despite COVID, then join me in the first of a two-part planning special as we set you up for 2021 success.

Ready to make 2021 the year you soar, the year your career and ambitions really take off?

025: What high performance leaders do differently during slower times

We are well and truly into the December slowdown.

But what do you do in a slow period?

Do you put your feet up, pause and breath a deep sigh of relief?

Do you just keep going because you don’t know what else to do?

Or something else entirely?

Whether December is a time when you slow-down, or if this comes at another time of the year for you, what you do in these calmer periods is the foundation to your success in the medium and long term. And yet so many people miss out on this opportunity.

Because success isn’t built on maintaining the hustle and high productivity. Success is built on leveraging slower times to thrive in busier times.

But success does require that you know exactly how you are using that time, and being as strategic as possible with it, whether for you personally or your organization.

So let’s talk slow-down strategy, and how to ensure you operate at your best all year round by enjoying times such as these.
