In the lead-up to the New Year, many of us were encouraged (or encouraged ourselves and others) to embark on strategic planning for 2026, to set bold goals, to visualise the future we seek, and dive into detailed action plans to bring it to live. All of this has its place and can be powerful and yet it can feel quite overwhelming.

Not for the whole year

Not a long list

Just three

They could include:

๐Ÿ“ a performance or career objective

๐Ÿ“ a business goal

๐Ÿ“ a physical or health goal

๐Ÿ“ greater mental clarity or focus

๐Ÿ“ a relationship or situation you want to be more present in (or get out of)

๐Ÿ“ a way of being you want to practise (eg calm, courageous, grounded)

Why January? Because sustainable change happens when we give ourselves permission to focus, deepen, build momentum, and create early wins.

In my work with leaders, teams and professionals across different stages of their careers, I see this again and again:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Progress accelerates when clarity meets simplicity.

Share them in the comments or keep them close and let them guide every choice you make this month and how you begin to deliver on your full year.

If you have not started 2026 full year planning yet, this is a great way to set the ball rolling.

Hereโ€™s to a grounded, purposeful, and meaningful January and a full year of clarity, purpose, momentum and lasting positive impact.

Enjoy your journey!
