This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about taking stock before setting goals for 2026. Before you rush into new plans, it can help to pause and look at what is working, what is not, and what you are carrying that you do not need anymore.
We lean into a simple idea: sometimes the best next step is not adding more. It is subtracting. Letting go of the goals, habits, meetings, projects, or expectations that are draining energy or no longer fit.
From the employee perspective, we talk about how to reflect without beating yourself up and how to make space for what matters. From the manager perspective, we discuss how to help your team reset priorities and reduce overload. And from the executive perspective, we explore what it looks like to focus the organization by choosing what not to do.
If you want 2026 to feel clearer and more doable, this episode is a great place to start.
