| As we roll into a new year, it’s tempting to embrace the idea that everything will magically fall into place just because the calendar has turned. But let’s be honest: real change doesn’t happen overnight, and the “new you” isn’t hiding in the pages of a planner or the promises of resolutions. In fact, studies show that only about 9% of people who set New Year’s resolutions feel they are successful in keeping them. So this year, rather than chasing an entirely “new you,” why not focus on strengthening the best parts of who you already are? For leaders, the key to growth lies in habits that align with your goals. Two impactful habits to cultivate this year are: • setting regular one-on-one meetings with your team members; and • carving out dedicated time for strategic thinking. One-on-ones create space to connect, coach, and problem-solve collaboratively, fostering stronger relationships and better outcomes. Strategic thinking time ensures you’re not just reacting to the day-to-day, but focusing on the big picture and leading with intention. These habits, practiced consistently, are the foundation of sustainable leadership growth and success. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure of what’s next in your leadership journey, consider working with a coach. Coaching provides the clarity, structure, and accountability to help you uncover what’s holding you back and identify the steps to move forward. Whether it’s fine-tuning your leadership approach, tackling a specific challenge, or exploring new opportunities, coaching can be the catalyst for real, lasting change.
