Choose Your Word Of The Year

  Choose Your Word Of The Year

When you pick your word, it should be something that resonates with you and helps you stay focused on your career objectives. Your word is a tool for focusing your energy, keeping your goals in sight and moving in the direction you want to go. So it should indicate an area of focus or a value that you want to emphasize in the year ahead.

For example, if you value integrity, think of ways to show integrity in your daily interactions and your work. Then take it a step further and determine how integrity can help you develop as a professional and advance your career.

Or take my word of the year, RESULTS — and yes, I emphasized it because I want it ingrained in my head! I chose this word because I want to guide my team in focusing on the consequences of our actions. On top of that, I want to get better at documenting these results, whether or not they're what we wanted.
