36. Letter to Yourself

Published: July 1, 2020, 9 a.m.

When you want to achieve something, you write it down. Whether it\u2019s a SWOT analysis, a formal action plan, or even a memo (or email) outlining goals\u2014you\u2019ve seen the power of listing out your intentions. A research study done at Dominican University in California shows that writing down your goals makes you 42% more likely to achieve them.\n\nWhy not apply this approach to your own career and personal development?\n\nToday marks halfway through 2020. I suspect this is not how you thought this year would turn out, but it doesn\u2019t change how hard you worked to get here. \n\nYour One Bold Move: Write a letter to yourself. Use this to remind you of your strengths, your why, and who you want to become. If you post a screenshot of the podcast or this episode on social and tag me @ShannaAHocking and #oneboldmove, I\u2019ll send you a free copy of a template you can use to draft your letter to yourself.\n\nFor more leadership and career advice like this sent directly to your inbox twice monthly, text SHANNA to 66866.
