Top Takeaways

What does planning look like for 2021?

What is an Annual Reset?

Look at the plan you have built and then looking out a year. Also reflect on the past year – look at past mistakes and seeing how you can avoid those things again, as well as celebrate wins and taking next steps for the future.

Look at:

Annual Initiatives – The big things you want to get done over the next year.

KPIs and Targets – Where you want to be at the end of 2021 and then looking out 3-5 years from there.

Thrusts and Capabilities – The big things 3-5 years out that you need to be moving toward in the business.

What is the #1 Topic Being Discussed in Resets?

The Uncertainty of 2021

• It helps to do some prep before the Annual Reset so that you know what you want to outcome to be.

People Issues

• Companies not having the financial means to have all the employees they need right now.
• Struggling to find good people and figuring out how to onboard new employees in our new environment (virtually).

Revisiting Core Values

• When your Core Values are right, they solve everything in the business.
• Do a 360 Core Value review with everybody – rating yourself and others on the Core Values.
• Stress test these each year and see if they are truly what you are, not aspirational.
• Book Recommendation: The Core Value Equation – Darius Mirshahzadeh

 

What are you doing to reset yourself?

One Page Personal Plan

• Thinking about what matters to you and looking out further to see what you want to accomplish.
• Looking back on the year before and seeing what you have accomplished or still need to strive for.

Wheel of Life

• Rating yourself in each of 6 categories of life and make a goal for yourself based off which areas need improvement.

Boundless Self Workshops

• Setting personal goals and creating accountability.
• Setting a certain date and year for your goals.
• Creating an emotional connection and uncovering the WHY behind it all.

Book Recommendation: Chop Wood Carry Water – Joshua Medcalf

“Without a plan, we are constantly climbing a ladder – And when we get to the top of the ladder, we’re standing on the wrong building.”

Ask yourself:

• What do I want to have?
• What do I want to do?
• Who do I want to be?

What are Ways to Get 1% Better Every Day?

App Recommendations:

Productive

Happy Feed: Gratitude app – every day it prompts you to write a statement of gratitude.

Making a commitment every day to do 1 thing that will make yourself better. It can be the smallest thing – whatever “making yourself better” means to you. Keeping an Accountability Partner can help ensure you get it done.

Question: How Do You Ask People on Zoom to Turn Their Camera On?

• Understand the goal and objective.
• Give everyone the WHY behind it and set the expectations – This is just a virtual version of being in the office so bring your “full” self.

What are you predicting for 2021?

• Everyone is more open to possibilities.
• People are now used to change and are not as easily rocked.
• This opens a door to growth and hope.
• Creative thinking, new ways of doing things, new inventions – “newness.”
