This book will help you and I kick butt on our 2019 goals!

What goals have you set for this year?
I'm doing a mini survey to see what kinds of goals women leaders set for themselves both at work and in their personal lives. I'm curious about yours. Message me and share your goals with me.

What plan do you have for achieving those goals?
Now onto your plan for achieving your goals. Wait...let me back up. You do have goals right? I am not talking about random, vague New Years Resolutions such as I'm going to be healthier this year or I'm going to be a nicer person. I am talking about specific goals.

Are you the type that doesn't set goals? Think again!
We all need goals. It is when we have goals and targets that we perform at our best. You know this simply by thinking about how good you are at getting something done at the "11th hour."
  • If the funding proposal is due at 3 pm today, you will be nailing your productivity habits.
  • If the wedding is 3 weeks away, you will have amazing healthy eating habits.
  • If you just had a significant health scare, there is a good chance you'll bump up your habit of gratitude journaling.

And...Do you have a plan to go with your goal?
Targets and goals are critical, but your goals are dead in the water if you don't have a strategic plan for how you will achieve them.
If you don't know that you will head to the gym at 5:30 on Mon - Wed - Fri.,
how do you know you will fit into that dress?

You need an implementation plan...
When the clock strikes 5 pm, I will pack up my stuff, leave the office and head to the gym.


You need a strategy to help you implement your plan
An implementation plan is how you will establish the habit of working out...which performed consistently over time, regardless of your workload or how motivated you feel...is what will allow you to achieve your goal. It's the small daily habits that help you to achieve your goals.

It is the plan and your strategy that will allow you to establish those habits!


Do your goals include becoming a stronger leader?
If your goal is to become a stronger, more confident and capable leader, how will you achieve that goal?
  • What will you need to do regularly to make that happen?
  • What skills will you need to learn?
  • What habits will you need to install?
  • What resources (people, books, training, etc.) will you need to help you?
That's your strategic plan. Do you have one?

The book that will help you and me kick butt on our goals this year!
If you have been following my logic here, you realize that one of the things you need to focus on is building good habits. Habits are the bricks that when compounded over time allow you to achieve your goal.
  • Going to the gym once doesn't help you be fit.
  • Hitting the gym 3-5 times each week over the span of 3 months will.
  • Reading a few pages in a book won't make you a more confident leader.
  • Establishing the habit of skill development via reading 20 minutes per day will grow your competence and confidence.

​What is the book that will help you and me?
It's called Atomic Habits by James Clear. I'm reading it and applying the concepts to my 2019 goals. I think you should as well, because women like us, who strive for excellence, need to find ways to create systems we can put on autopilot...so we become our best.

I'd love to hear about your goals for 2019 and when you start to read Atomic Habits, let me know how you are applying the ideas!

Here's to an amazing 2019! 🙌🏻

    Women leaders often hit a point where they find themselves in over their heads and wondering if they have what it takes to lead.
    ​
    ​In my online courses and coaching I teach them inner and outer tools to restore their lost confidence so they can move from surviving to thriving in both leadership and life.
