Kristi Campoe, PhD, RN, CMSRN, CPHQ, sMBA on LinkedIn: Is your 2024 on track? July 1 is a great midyear time to review your… (2024)

Presented my final strategy of the year on 20 December 2023, it was not a success. In fact, it was the worst strategy presentation I’d had all year. I haven’t had such a challenging session in a while - I felt like I’d hit a brick wall and I couldn’t even answer questions that were being asked with the usual clarity I have. I had brain fog. I was pushing through and had cancelled my leave to get more work done despite being exhausted. Three lessons I learned from my last (and worst) strategy session of the 2023 that I’m taking into 2024:1) Always give yourself time to check-in with your team before presenting anything - ask for more time to get another strategist to give your deck a read if you need to. (It always helps me make sense of my thoughts and answer for my work easily when I do get questions).2) Don’t push through if you’re exhausted. There’s no need to act like a hero - if your brain is tired, take a beat or hand over and let someone who has capacity take it over the line. 3) (This one’s very personal) Just take your leave in December. Don’t try save your days and work through the festive - especially if you’re exhausted. Hope you’re feeling as rested as I am after the break - and that your 2024 planning is also coming together smoothly 🙌🏽

What will be your good habits for 2024? At this time of the year many of us take time to reflect on the past year and plan for 2024. Some questions that I have been reflecting on:What worked well last year? What did I learn? What do I want to do more of or even do better? And in which fields would I like to improve my skills? I do believe in the slight edge philosophy (Slight Edge - Jeff Olson) which emphasizes the power of small actions over time. The small actions we choose to do, or not to do every day, will ultimately create a great difference in our lives. It's about building good habits, which can be challenging, but always worth it in the end. I have my goals and my plan for 2024 and one of them is to embrace the present moment by remembering everything I am grateful for and also remember to have fun and laugh every day. What will be your good habits this year? Let's make 2024 a year of impact, growth and positivity.

Are you frustrated by these?❌ New year, new you❌ Make 2024 your best year❌ Set your SMART goals for 2024❌ Transform yourself / your lifeDoes this feel more like you?✅ new year, same you✅ make 2024 a good enough year✅ give yourself intentions for 2024✅ Make tiny change happenEvery year I’m annoyed at seeing the same messages shared everywhere, they’ve never really resonated with me and I know I’m not the only one. The ‘personal growth’ industry is driven by this narrative that we have to always get better, transform ourselves, be our best.But it’s ok to stay the same, take baby steps and continue doing what’s right for you. It’s ok to have a kind-of direction, vague intentions if that’s enough for you.But don’t get me wrong - that doesn’t mean things will just happen by doing nothing. If you want to bring change in your life, you’re going to have to work for it.That’s why I’m pushing my ‘reflect and plan’ workbook once again. It’ll help you reflect what you’ve achieved and struggled with in the last few months, and it’ll enable you to figure out what you want to get out of the next few months. It can be as vague or as detailed as you want.I’m more of a vague, go-with-the flow person. I don’t like detailed goals. So if you’re like that too, have a look at the workbook - you’ll find it on my blog.Set an hour aside to do that, grab your favourite beverage and/or snacks, get cosy, and start reflecting and writing.If you’d rather be guided through this, join me for a virtual workshop on Wednesday January 31 from 20.00 to 21.00 GMT. I’ll be taking you thought the process and there’ll be time to share your intentions and get inspired by each other. Book your space here https://lnkd.in/eHgS26dqAnd if you’re in East London, I’ll also be using the same framework in my Vision Board workshop - Tuesday February 20 at The Every Space (E17)

As we wind down 2023 and prepare for the new year, I’ve made a commitment to make 2024 the best year ever!!! That doesn’t happen without a plan, so I’ve started thinking about the goals and actions and how I’ll measure my progress/success. But thinking about it isn’t enough. We need to write the plan out. We do this for our organizations but yet often we don’t do it personally Making the time to plan our personal goals - financial, family, spiritual, health, etc. - keeps us focused. Put personal planning on your calendar! I’ve carved out time during next week’s break to work on my plan. A few strategies I’ll use to develop it are to:▶️ reflect on last year - what went well or not so well the past year. ▶️ review my plan from last year to see where/why I missed the mark▶️ identify the goals (keep them to 3 if possible)▶️ write the goals and actions down ▶️ determine how I’ll measure progress ▶️ review the plan periodically (at least quarterly)▶️ share your plan with someone who can help keep you on trackWill you make time to write your plan out for next year?

Do this today to build the life you want... (and make 2024 the best year of your life!) The first month of the year is officially gone! And it's the perfect time to reflect on what you'll do differently for the rest of 2024. To do this, I conduct a "monthly review" at the end of each month. My January review is the most important. It helps me re-focus and adjust course. It sets the stage for the rest of the year. Wanna make 2024 your best year yet? Then give this a try... → Block 1 hour this weekend. → Start with these two big questions... 1. What's my definite #1 priority this year? I'm not talking about goals or aspirations. But the most important aspect of your life. Your health? Your family? Your work? Finances? Which of these areas do you want (or must) improve in 2024? 2. What did you do last month to make this area a priority? - be honest with yourself. Once you've answered these questions, it's time to plan for what's next... - What must change to make this a priority? - What's distracting me from my priority? - What excuses are holding me back? - What happens if I do nothing? - What support do I need? Lastly, come up with 1 thing you'll commit to in February to support your priority. P.S. What's your definite #1 priority this year? Share in the comments 👇

2024 is here! As we embrace this new year, it's natural to ponder resolutions for a better self. However, did you know that a staggering 92% of people struggle to maintain their New Year's resolutions? This year, let's break that trend with these tips to ensure that YOU are successful in achieving your goals:1.Limit Yourself: Focus on one or two goals instead of overwhelming yourself with multiple resolutions.2.Take Time for Planning: Proper planning is crucial. Think through how you'll accomplish your resolution and anticipate setbacks. 3.Set Specific Goals: Avoid vague resolutions like "exercise more." Be specific, like "exercise 30 minutes daily" or "lose 2 lbs/week." Having measurable goals makes it easier to track progress and feel accomplished.4.Start Small: Avoid setting overly high expectations. Take on smaller, realistic goals that you can build upon. Gradual progress leads to long-term success.5.Find Accountability Partners: Surround yourself with a supportive community that keeps you motivated and accountable. Share your resolutions with friends, family, or consider working with a coach (hello!) who can provide guidance and support.6.Give It Time: Remember, new habits take time to develop. Be patient with yourself and embrace minor setbacks. Stay committed, and eventually, your resolution will become second nature.Ready to turn your resolutions into realities? Let's make 2024 the year of lasting change and personal growth!#NewYearResolutions #SmallGoalsBigResults #PersonalGrowth

Halfway through 2024 already—time for a reflection check!For me, it starts with a New Year's ritual: a new pen, a fresh pad, and the waves of the sea. It doesnt matter if I am in Ireland, england or abroad on holidays I try to always be by the sea around NYE, cold or warm. Amidst the sound of waves, I write a few verses, dissect my flaws, and surrender them to the sea. I've even torn out past pages, setting them adrift—perhaps a questionable eco-choice, but helps my head massively. Now, as we edge towards the year's midpoint, I recall those sea resolutions and goals. I ask myself, have we charted a course true to our ambitions? How much closer are we to the horizons we have sought? Reflection isn't just for year-end contemplation—it's a continual process underpinning both personal and professional evolution. So, to my network: Are you on track with your 2024 goals? What's your reflective ritual? Whether it's monthly reviews or daily check-ins, sharing could spark insight for others.I've ditched the annual review for a regular personal MOT, aligning my body, mind, and career direction. This routine nudges me towards incremental daily actions that elevate my goals. It's not a magic bullet, but it's helpful for me.... Your turn—how do you maintain year-long clarity and focus? Drop your practices below. 👇#MidYearReflections #GoalSetting #ContinuousImprovement
