Review & Reflect for 2022

It's 2022! Happy New Year!

How’s the year started for you so far? Are you excited, ready and raring to go??

OR

Maybe it feels like more of the same. Maybe you have this feeling of Meh... (Read this article on languishing by Adam Grant). Maybe you’re feeling a little tired and demotivated before the year has even properly begun.

Whichever way you’re tending, Here's something to help you get a bit of an energy, motivation and planning Boost! You can use it to capitalize and build on the good energy or to help you get out of the funk.

As it's always my custom to do at the start of the year, I invite you to join me in a Review & Reflection (R&R) exercise. You can use the questions on my Strategy Boost questionnaire or use whichever format you prefer. The key idea to take a few moments to think, reflect and plan.

We could all use a Boost from time to time (and especially after a year of chaos, uncertainty, super-juggling and hard work).

To continue to be effective and fulfilled with everything that we have on our plates, it's imperative that we take time to reflect on what we’ve done and create a strategic view of what lies ahead.

So, here's my invitation to you...

1. Carve out 10 minutes in your calendar. YES! go put that slot in now…
2. Switch off all technology and other distractions
3. Take a few deep breaths and clear your head before you begin
4. Click here?to take the Strategy Boost R&R quiz that I've created for you (no opt-in required).
5. Feel free to continue with any other thoughts and ideas that pop into your head. Write it down, enjoy the moment and feel the feelings that come up for you.

It's always good to do this with your team or with a partner, share your answers, ask more questions and get a peek into each other's thoughts and plans. So feel free to share this exercise with colleagues, friends, and anyone you know who can also benefit from a Strategy Boost and you can do it together!

And remember that reflecting is good when it helps you to take action.

So… think about what action you're going to take as a result of your R&R.

PS There’s an added bonus. If you hit submit at the end of the quiz to share your answers with me, I promise to respond to you and you can choose if you'd like me to follow up with you in 2022 to see how you're going.

See you on the other side of the Boost!
