Every New Year’s Eve I perform a ritual of reflecting on the last year and setting goals for the new one. This exercise helps me:
appreciating all the good things that I experienced over the year
reflecting on goals that I did not complete and deciding what to do about them
becoming clear about what I want from the next year, so that in 12 month’s time I can look back and say: “Wow, this has been a great year!”

Annual Goal Setting with my free template
I also created this goal setting guide which covers eveything you need to know about effective goal setting. It also has a troubleshooting section which explores what might go wrong and how to address it.

He now helps executives, professionals and business owners create and thrive in lives they truly love. Most of his clients are in established careers, but at a point where they are ready to up their game and create deeper fulfilment and greater success.
