With the 1st day of 2020 approaching, there is no need to wait until the new year to begin planning goals and efforts, let’s do it now…
- Learn a new technical skill to push your career-expertise to the next step.
- Travel to a new destination to immerse yourself in new cultures, interactions and experiences.
- Ask yourself, “What am I avoiding that I should be taking on headfirst, then take action on it.”
The people we interact with and actions we take impact future outcomes. Higher a coach, ask a mentor for help, demand excellence from yourself, and never stop taking action.
