It's our first week back at work and I entered my first meeting of 2024 with mixed feelings (partly happy to see my community, partly sad to be torn away from weeks of relentless reading 😙📚). My mood immediately evolved when my good friend Elizabeth Fassl challenged us to set our intentions for the year. Although manifesting isn't a practice I'm new to, it felt vital to speak power to my goals and focus every decision I make in 2024 behind my why. So here I am, being vulnerable, open, and speaking power to my mission: 1. Be more vulnerable 🤎 - Hopefully, you see me trying here. I've learned so much from so many uncomfortable situations. This only comes with being open. 2. Create more content 📲 - I do cool things sometimes. And I want *you* all to be a part of it. Imagine what we could accomplish in this world together 👨👩👦 A special thank you to John Izzo, Ph.D. for giving me a headstart by featuring me on his podcast "The Way Forward: Regenerative Conversations" to discuss the importance of intergenerational dialogue. 3. Show up more. For yourself and others 🌎 - I have a habit of doing my job and going home lol. Mostly because I love my solitude but partly out of fear. The unknown is scary for us all, and as a Gen Z leader, it's safe to say I have *not* done it all. But I'm dedicated to learning! 🤓 4. Increase impact 💟 - This goal never changes. Every year is a new opportunity for evolution, within yourself and the world. As we enter election year (spoiler alert), what matters to you? What matters to your community? How can we show up for that? How can I help you show up for that? My Aquarius Sun is glad this post is over, but my Cancer Moon is proud 😭. I cannot wait to revisit this list at the end of the year and see how much I've accomplished (or changed, because we all know, life be lifing). Hopefully, you all can revisit your goals with me ❤️ What are you manifesting for yourself in 2024? 🔮 #genz #genzmarketing #socialimpact #deib #dei #manifest #multiculturalmarketing #futureofwork #goalsetting

Answered just one fundamental question, but answered it exceptionally well. For the past 7 years, I've collaborated with over 100 organizations and thousands of professionals, both within and outside India. Our client base grew organically, solely through referrals, recommendations from existing clients, or direct approaches, without heavily relying on marketing expenses or solely focusing on building a social media following. Senior Leaders, Government Officials, Board Members, VCs, Athletes, Managers, Sales Professionals, Entrepreneurs, Students – we have worked with them all. And we helped them answer one fundamental question scientifically: 'What are your strengths?' Many of them were highly successful, yet when they received their answers, their responses were: ·     Why didn’t I answer this earlier? ·     I didn’t realize this could be addressed so effectively. ·     I didn’t know there is a scientific and simple method for this. ·     This should be integrated into every training program at all levels. ·     Can you help me uncover my team's strengths too? ·     Me and my team would have gained so much clarity and applied ourselves with more conviction if we had answered this earlier. Imagine, how much everyone who aspire to do well need the answer to this question. That's why I'm committed to a movement-like approach to help individuals answer this most fundamental question. This podcast allowed me to share my thoughts and experiences gained from working on this singular subject for the past 7 years. My team and I have compiled valuable resources and insights, and we will be offering many of them freely to our exclusive community. It's our tribute to the science of Strengths and our mentor, the late Don Clifton, the Father of Strengths Science. If you haven’t yet answered this question, I invite you to join our community. Discover what can be achieved simply by answering this fundamental question.
