For some, goal setting can feel daunting, while for others, the excitement of endless possibilities can make it difficult to know where to begin. Goals should be a reflection of your strengths and priorities—an opportunity for growth, not a form of self-punishment or negative discipline. As you plan your goals for the new year, start by reviewing your CliftonStrengths results. Your top themes provide valuable insights into how you naturally approach challenges and opportunities, helping you create goals that align with your unique talents. For instance, if you lead with Strategic Thinking strengths like Input or Analytical, focus on goals that involve planning, problem-solving, and long-term vision. If you excel in Relationship Building strengths such as Empathy or Individualization, consider integrating collaboration and team connection into your goals. Ready to jump-start your 2025 goals?

I move individuals towards their "NEXT" as an experienced Gallup Certified CliftonStrengths Coach, Program Manager, Workshop facilitator, and Career counselor!

As a Certified Gallup Strengths Coach and workshop facilitator, I have been awed by the results of the many individuals I have coached by reflecting, learning how their strengths are uniquely them and then targeting their strengths and aiming those strengths toward positive outcomes. We tend to focus on our weaknesses, only when focused on our strengths we find our sweet spots and can then envision possibilities. It is an amazing assessment to support you in so many positive ways!

It is important to keep strength in mind for all decisions, not just for goals. Starting with goals is indeed a strong start.

Ever set overly ambitious goals in areas where you’re already struggling? It’s easy to think we can “fix” those weak spots by working harder. But what if the key isn’t grinding away at our weaknesses, but leaning more intentionally into our strengths? Take a moment to reflect: Are you directing your energy into areas that truly align with your greatest strengths? When your goals match your strengths, work feels less like a grind and more like flow. That’s where passion, excitement, and real progress thrive. ✨✨✨If you’re ready to gain clarity on your strengths and how to leverage them for meaningful results, let’s talk. I’d love to help you discover your unique edge.

Too often, we set goals that feel like punishments—pushing us to ‘fix’ skills we don’t naturally have instead of building on the strengths that make us shine. 💡 In my upcoming Thrive in 2025 workshop, we’ll explore how to set goals that align with your unique strengths so you can achieve success without burnout. 🌟 This repost from CliftonStrengths reminds us that leaning into what we’re naturally great at isn’t just easier—it’s smarter.

That's a timeless piece of advice, both personally and professionally. As this year comes to a close, many of us will have the opportunity to take some well-deserved time off. My heartfelt 🧡 invitation to all of us is to use this time to reflect on a crucial aspect: setting goals 🥅 that align with our strengths 💪 , not our weaknesses. It's easy to get caught up in the pressures of societal expectations or professional standards, but true growth 🪴 and fulfillment come from leaning into what we love 💌 and what we’re good at. Instead of forcing ourselves into boxes or challenges that don’t resonate with us, let’s embrace what feels authentic. Take time to listen to yourself, nurture what makes you unique, and set goals that inspire and motivate you. Wishing you all a reflective and fulfilling end to this year—let's make 2025 a year of purpose and alignment! 🌱 #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #Strengths #WorkLifeBalance #NewYearReflections #CliftonStrenghts

Hands up those who LOVE setting goals at the start of the year? Surely it's not just me??? Some of us naturally lean towards the structure of a set target and an action plan (I lead from the Strategic Thinking domain and anything to do with planning and mapping a path forwards ticks all the boxes for me!). Others have to be dragged kicking and screaming to pin down a target. There's always a way to play to your strengths. Find out what your Top 5 Strengths are and set goals you WANT to achieve! https://lnkd.in/gz_bsDBW #feelleadbebetter #goalsetting #strengthsbasedgoals #cliftonstrengths https://lnkd.in/gA8Mdaxr
