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

“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:
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.
