#8: 2023 #GOALS Podcast - Talking the Talk & Walking the Walk

Solo episode where I reflect on my annual goal setting practices - what I've done right and wrong.

I know the subject of goal-setting can be divisive or even triggering for some but it’s my belief that that comes down to your perspective on goals. Goal setting is often over-romanticized, probably because of the accompanying dopamine it can create, when in reality goal setting is really just making one big to-do list. So, here’s my breakdown of what I do every year when it’s time to make that list, I discuss:

  • How my perspective on goal-setting changed from formless to directed.

  • Why it’s not enough to just visualize success.

  • An idea for making goal check-ins fun.

  • Picking out a “WOY: Word of the Year” with examples.

  • Picking out a “POY: Person of the Year” with examples.

  • Why creating steps to reaching your goals are so important.
