As we embrace the shiny newness and promise of 2018, reflect on what you’ve learned last year, and resolve to be a bigger YOU in 2018. The picture was taken in front of a sculpture of a tree near the Santa Rosa mall, and reflects the promise of new growth following the 2017 fires. The thoughts below represent my learnings from 2017.
- See competence and consistency as two sides of the same coin. Keep reaching for one, and let the other catch up before leveling up.
- Have the confidence to keep reaching for stars, and also the humility and openness to welcome input and feedback.
- Communicate boldly, clearly and transparently, but listen and observe more than you speak.
- Be open and imaginative enough to see through your own filters, as frightening and as confusing as it may be to do so.
- Have a strong moral compass around your values, but respect that others may have the same.
- Be youthful and energetic in your approach, wise and open in your perspective.
- Be compassionate and supportive, while also being wise and reserved for those who might take advantage.
- Strive for courage, and temper it with common sense.
- Be calm, especially when circumstances are extreme, but err on the side of measured action.
- Be slow to judge, quick to learn.
Wishing everyone a 2018 which surpasses your hopes and dreams!
