Momentum

My word for 2020 is “momentum.”

Let’s just let that settle in for a moment.

Sigh.

Like you, I’m sure, I’ve become really discerning about the information I take in these days. There’s so much “advice” that’s really just noise, and it makes my head - and heart - ache.

And then there are the cliches. So many cliches.

My current least favorite: This too shall pass.

What seems like overnight, the trajectory of the work I do has changed. Most of the time, I choose to believe it will be for the better.

And yet there are moments, usually just before I consume an episode of Tiger King (what is that show?!), I’m a little less sure.

This morning I’m revisiting my goals - it's the most practical advice I’ve received to date. They will be focused on the immediate term rather than the long.

These new goals feel possible and I feel capable.

Did you choose a word or intention for 2020? How does it feel now? I’d love to know more below.

P.S. If you’re a manager of salespeople, please lean in deeply in your support of them; they need your leadership now - more than ever - as what feels possible for them, too, is shifting. And if you make your living in sales, please don’t forget that you’re allowed to ask for help if you need it.
