Good morning, Reader,
As 2022 winds down, many of us are thinking of some personal or professional shifts that we'd like to make for 2023. I thought it could be helpful to share with you a brief synopsis of what has worked in the past for me to plan for success for a coming New Year.
Using the tips I share below, below, I've been able to grow and accomplish quite a bit this year both personally and professionally, and I hope that what I share below is as useful for you as it is for me. I'll first share what I did that worked well for accomplishing my personal development goals in 2022 and then secondly, I will share what I do that has worked well to help me grow my business and grow professionally this year.
1) How I Attained Personal Development Goals in 2022
In the past, I found that I set too many personal goals and didn't set ample time aside to complete them, so some new things that I did in late 2021 and early 2022 that allowed me to successfully plan for my personal development goals and to implement them (that you can try if you'd like) is:
This process was a game-changer for my personal growth this year! Feel free to take whatever is helpful for you or someone you know to utilize from my personal development process.
2) How I Attained Business and Professional Development Goals in 2022
This year, I was able to attain some major contracts and opportunities in my business, experiencing growth in revenue and expanding my impact in a wonderful way. I believe part of that has come from my annual strategic planning process that I've been doing probably for about 6 out of my 8 years in business. Every year, in December, I update a 3-year plan for my business. Here's how I approach it in a way that has been priceless to support both my business and professional development:
One of the beautiful things about my making mistakes and learning new things is that I get to share these learnings with the people in my circle. I'm hoping that what I shared above is helpful for you or someone who you might care about.
Feel free to share this with friends, family, colleagues, or anyone who you think could benefit from the insights I shared above.
Regardless of how you plan for your 2023, I'm excited about what the future holds for you!
Warm regards,
Daphne Valcin, Helping you thrive in life, work, and business

Hi Reader, How do we connect when we feel someone's perspective or approach is completely different than ours? Maybe a colleague is expounding too much on a point. Maybe a customer seems to be asking for way too much. Maybe a manager is feeling like 10 steps are needed to roll out a new initiative when you're sure it can be done in 3 steps. Daily or weekly, we run into differences in perspective or approach and in each case, we have the opportunity to have an interaction result in connection...
Hi Reader, As we are approaching the end of the first quarter of 2024, this is a great time for us to reflect on where we are and where we would like to be in the areas that mean the most to us professionally. I have a life hack that I have used for years to periodically assess where I am and where I want to be personally and professionally, even during my busiest seasons in life. And I wanted to share it with you just in case you might find it useful. If you prefer to watch a video of how...
Hi Reader, As we head into the March 2023 and wrap up the first quarter of this year, I am hoping that you are encouraged by all of the things that you can be grateful for thus far this year.
