3 Steps to Creating Aligned Achievement

Have you been feeling the pressure to get things done this year? To “hit the ground running”?

I started this year in bed with the flu, and while that sounds terrible (and it was), it forced me to have a slower start to the year. Instead of being in the energy of hurrying and getting as much done as possible, I was forced to slow down and settle into what 2025 is really going to be about for me.

Now, I don’t want any of you to get sick and be stuck in bed to be able to be really intentional with the direction you’re heading this year, so instead that’s where we’re starting with our first episode back of the podcast.

The new year is often the perfect time to reflect and redesign our approach to work and life. Whether you’re completely pivoting your direction, don’t feel like your goals last year aligned with what you wanted to achieve, or are just feeling overwhelmed with life, there is always time to change your approach.

I’ve been coaching career focussed women for a decade now and my signature framework will help you be really intentional in your year. Here’s what it looks like

1. Personal Mastery: Rewire and unravel back to your most true you. Get to know yourself intimately without any outside influence and begin unlearning the patterns that no longer serve you.
2. Career Strategy: Bring in your strategic thinking to align your career goals with your personal values to create meaningful success and choose a strategy that works for you. There’s a million different strategies that can get you from A to B, but this is about finding the ones that work for your specific intentions and life.
3. Intentional Action: This is where the magic really happens, in executing your strategy and taking small, consistent steps to act with purpose and intention. This includes setting SMART goals to guide your steps, knowing the difference between outcome and habit goals, and tracking your progress

It’s possible to have both professional fulfillment and personal balance when you intentionally design your life in this way.
