Today’s Note is an assignment. I want you to pick a word for ‘25 that will act as your North Star for the year. I know it’s the time of the year for short-lived resolutions and half-assed commitments–I speak from experience, but I’ve found that having a word, or a theme, for a year has helped me stay focused for the entire year. Your word could encompass your resolutions; for example, my word for last year was “discipline”. If your goal were to lose weight, work out more, etc., discipline would still guide you toward that goal—focus on the behavior or character trait, not the activity. So pick a theme and share it with someone—you can share it with me by just hitting reply (or DM’ing me if you’re reading this on LinkedIn). My word for ‘25 is “patience.” I’ll share more in the coming days about why I chose it–or better yet, it chose me. JC |

I don't know about you, but I'm coming into this new year feeling more aligned and confident than ever, and I feel that this energy is contagious, so that anyone riding alongside me is going to be a beneficiary...
“Be delusional. Believe that you have the ability to make it work no matter what. Believe that regardless of what happens, it’ll all work out in the end because that’s what it takes. Anything and everything else leads to self-sabotage and failure. If you don’t believe you have what it takes, then your subconscious will do everything it can to prove that you’re right. You don’t need to be special or talented; you don’t need all the support in the world. All you need is to believe with every...
It’s that time of year when self-help podcasts, articles, and videos proliferate as people plan to make improvements in the new year. As you begin to consume this well-intentioned content (well, most of it is well-intentioned) remember that the expert or guru sharing information is doing so from the perspective of their lived experience–my Self included. Many experts speak as if their way is the only way—that they have access to knowledge that applies to everyone; the truth is, they don’t. I...
