It is January and we all know what that means ... good ole’ New Year’s Resolutions. 

You probably have already seen on Instagram how people are declaring their “word” of the year or setting a quote or verse for their intention. You might have seen the TikTok challenges about growth, mindset, and goal setting for 2023. While I have done ALL of these — with some success and a lot of failure — I am taking a different approach for 2023.

I'm starting the year by thinking well. Rather than doing, hustling, or accomplishing, I am going to spend January thinking.

Check out this month’s blog for questions you can use this month to think.

Everyone thinks, of course. The challenge is to think well. It’s not natural for us to spot every lie and dodge most delusions. Modern life is complex and hyper-social. It requires skill and conscious effort to avoid being fooled because the human brain is a complex contradiction.

Therefore, to live wiser, safer, and more efficient lives today, it is necessary for us to become active and attentive critical thinkers.

Did you know less than 8% of people actually stick to their resolutions each year!? Yet, millions of Americans continue to set goals with high hopes of a better year ahead.

Whether you want to lose weight, get organized, or achieve anything else in the new year, it’s all about sticking to your goals. Here are 10 common traits, characteristics, and habits of people who keep their resolutions for self-improvement.

People love to set goals, and setting objectives can lead to meaningful change. But let's fact it: We aren't necessarily great at sticking to those goals — especially New Year's resolutions.

What gives? Why do we even bother if the resolutions are going to fade by February? And what's going to make it different this year — for real this time?

Celebrate: Traci's Graduation!

During December, Traci was able to join many of her classmates in Irvine, California as they received their degrees from Concordia University. Upon earning her Masters of Organizational Leadership, Traci shared pictures of her friends, family, instructors and classmates with the below:

"I'm so thankful for the support from these people who loved, pushed, edited, reviewed, coached, gave feedback about, role played and attuned to help me cross the finish line. What an amazing experience it was for me to finally achieve this goal!"

Congratulations to Traci, our fearless leader! We wish her the best as she continues to put all that she learned into practice for her clients and the non-profits she serves.

We are thrilled to launch the Becoming a Great People Leader Book Club!

Beginning in February and throughout 2023, this group will read and discuss seven books focused on leadership development.

• What is the commitment? We will read 7 books over 10 months and spend an hour each month breaking down the material and putting the concepts to use in our sessions. 

To ensure engagement and quality discussion, we will only accept individuals who are currently leading a team and we are limiting the group size to a maximum of 20 people. Don't miss out! Take action today to secure your spot. Apply now!
