A Few Notes From Cheryl
Happy
New Year: Happy 2007! How is the beginning of this
year going for you so far? Are you creating what you want?
If you are, congratulations! If not, NOW is the time! This
month's feature
article is about creating MEANINGFUL goals for the coming year and
setting intentions that will help you create the results you desire at
work and at home. Enjoy!
Welcome to our new readers this month! Many of you
recently joined our online community after completing a team
building program or workshop with us -- there is lots of team building
activity right now, as we start off the new year. Welcome
aboard! We value input from all of our readers, so if you have
ideas for future articles that you'd like to see, please let us
know. And, if you have friends or colleagues who would benefit
from this newsletter, we always appreciate your referrals - just

Feature Article: How Are You Beginning This
Year?
December was a time to reflect on all of our
learnings from the past year, as well as successes and "failures",
as you may remember from that newsletter. Now we're in January, a
time
of new beginnings and a time to integrate all of those wonderful
December learnings into your planning and intention setting for the
coming year.
The beginning of 2007 is here - you've had a couple of weeks to get
settled into the new year. How is it going so far? Are you
creating the results you want most at work and at home? Let's
take some time now to help ensure your success in 2007! You'll be
surprised at the richness that comes with
allowing yourself the gift of this reflection time.
Find a quiet place to do this exercise, perhaps in nature somewhere, or
at least some place where you will not be interrupted. Bring a
journal or something with which to take notes as
you go through this process.
WORK:
1. What are
your top 3 goals or intentions for 2007 in your work?
Why are those important to you? How will you measure your
success? How
will you celebrate those "wins" once those intentions and goals turn
into reality? Notice we are not talking about "New Year's
Resolutions" for 2007 - we are talking about intentions and goals that
have true MEANING for you because they are based on your values and
priorities.
2. Who do you
want to BE at work in 2007? Many times we just focus on
what we want to DO, but consciously considering who you want to "show
up" as at work is just as important. Who will you be as a
leader? Who will you be as a team member? How will you show
up authentically at work?
3. What are
your most important values that must be honored at work this
year? If work-life balance is important to you, then NOW is the
time to create it! Be sure to look at other values that might be
important to you at work, and make sure those will get honored in your
2007 goals/intentions.
4. How have
you integrated
your biggest learnings from last year into your goals and
intentions for 2007? Check to make sure that your top 3 goals or
intentions will help position you for a year of success by integrating
what you learned in 2006.
5. What impact will you have on your
team this year? How will you interact with your team
members and other colleagues? What impact will that have on your
team's relationship dynamics? How will you impact your team's
results this year? How will you contribute to their success?
6. How will
you help your team celebrate your team's "wins" this year? Remember
the importance of celebrating your team's successes! When you and
your team are successful in accomplishing your goals and intentions, be
sure to celebrate.
PERSONAL:
1. What are your top 3 goals or intentions for
2007 in your personal life?
Why are those important to you? How will you measure your
success? How
will you celebrate those "wins" once those intentions and goals turn
into reality?
2. Who do you
want to BE at home in 2007? Who will
you be as a friend? Who will you be as a parent? Who will
you be as a significant other? Give some careful consideration as
to how you want to show up in your personal life so that you and all of
your loved ones benefit from your interactions.
3. What are your most important
values that must be honored in your personal life in 2007?
4. How have
you integrated
your biggest learnings from
last year into your goals and intentions for 2007? Check to make
sure
that your top 3 goals or intentions will help position you for a year
of success by integrating what you learned in 2006. at home as well as
at work
5. What impact
will you have on the world in 2007? Think BIG!
6. How will
you celebrate your personal successes this year? Reward
yourself for all of your successes.
Best wishes for a wonderfully meaningful and successful 2007 in ALL
ways!
