Two-Hour Audit And Relationship Focus
- Block two hours for a thorough audit and repeat it at most twice a year for direction.
- Use relationships to support transitions and keep investing even when other priorities dominate.
Pick Three Quarterly Actions
- Convert reflection into action by choosing three concrete things to work on for a quarter.
- Make them specific (growth convo, volunteer role, reconnect two people) and track progress.
Break Big Goals Into Baby Steps
- Break big career shifts (new job, industry change) into the smallest achievable steps.
- Frame them as baby steps or goals based on what motivates you to sustain progress.
