No more new year new you

by Personal Development

I was completely a “new year new you” person for years. Each new year rolled around and this was finally going to be the year I was going to do things differently.

 

I tried resolutions. I tried goals. I tried themes. I tried big. I tried small.

 

But at the end of each year, I was frustrated looking back and wondering why I couldn’t do what I kept saying I wanted to do.

 

But I kept at it. I did a lot of reading. I started doing some tinkering. Eventually, I got certified as a coach which added some missing elements.

 

From all of that, I’ve crafted a course Get more of the right things done in a year (at work and in life) that is going to walk you through the exact process I now use every year. The process is going to make you feel like you have a clear path forward and you’ll actually feel good at the end of the year.

 

The process falls under the Three Cs framework that I use in all my coaching.

 

  • Clarity – Look back, look at where you’re at, create a vision of where you want to go
  • Control – Deciding the elements of your plan and dropping them into a structure to follow
  • Calibration – A process for checking in, learning from your experience, and refining your plan with new info

There’s structure for those who crave a detailed path and for those who don’t, there’s flexibility to focus on the elements that are going to be most helpful for you. Videos will walk you through each step and you’ll get a workbook you can use year round.

 

Hear from some of the people who have done the course:

 

“I highly recommend Dana’s workshop. She will provide a structure to help lead you on the road to increased satisfaction and happiness.”
“It was amazing 🙌💕 Highly recommend it!”
“Your program with goals was a catalyst!🔥🔥🔥”
“I thoroughly enjoyed it and think your valuable advice may serve for years to come.”

 

It can be done in an afternoon or broken up over a few days. And you can revisit it next year or at any time.

Hi, I’m Dana

I transform how professionals and teams work, because more hours is the enemy of more impact.

The “coma” story

The “coma” story

I told her I’d just come out of a coma.   That was my line to my personal trainer on our very first conversation: “Treat me like I’ve just come out of a coma.”   It was half-joke, half-truth. Years of back problems plus a foot issue had kept me from my...

Don’t let Q4 run you over

Q4 always seems to sneak up on us. One minute it is summer, and the next, the calendar is packed, the holidays are around the corner, and every project suddenly feels urgent.A client recently told me they always feel like they “lose” Q4. By the time December arrives,...

From new manager to real leader

From new manager to real leader

Stepping into leadership can be tricky. You're great at your role, and now you're managing people, which is a different skill set. I just wrapped a coaching engagement with a client who recently took on direct reports. Fortunately, their company supported coaching, so...

Can you answer this simple question?

Can you answer this simple question?

Yesterday I asked a client a simple question: ​“What’s one thing you’re good at?” They paused. They hesitated. And they honestly struggled to answer. And they’re not alone. So many of us freeze when it comes to talking about what we do well. We call it “tooting our...

Back to school (kind of)

I took a long weekend for an alumni event at UC Santa Cruz. It was set right in the middle of the redwoods, and yes, the Banana Slug is the mascot for good reason. And while it was wonderful to see familiar faces, I also came back with a few unexpected takeaways:...

When your new hire isn’t working out

New hires are exciting… and yes, even the great ones can be a little exhausting at first. But what if they are not great? I was talking with a client recently who was starting to have doubts about their newest hire. The skills were there. The fit seemed right. And...

Neglected your network? Read this.

The questions are rolling in from Dana On Demand, and I just got one that comes up again and again: “I’ve totally neglected my network, and now I feel like an asshole reaching out when I need something.” Let me be clear. You're not an asshole. Unless you act like one....

Mid-summer and feeling unfocused?

Mid-summer and feeling unfocused?

First, I think we need to acknowledge that we're not always focused on getting ahead at work. Summer is often a time to take a step back and recharge.   Maybe you're carting kids from camp to camp.Maybe you’ve got a big vacation on the books.Maybe you’re just...

2025 books so far…

I'm now 2 for 2 in my decision to do a mid-year check-in on my media consumption (and 0 for 3 on quarterly), so I guess it's working well enough.   I started the year off with a severely sprained ankle, which impacted my walking and listening to audiobooks. And...

Wait… how is it already July?

Can you believe it’s July 1? Somehow, we’re halfway through the year. Whether you’ve been thriving or just surviving, it’s a moment worth pausing for.   It seems like just yesterday I struggled to find a theme word for 2025. I landed on Thrive. Eventually.  ...
