KEY TAKEAWAYS
It is important to pause periodically and think about how things have gone and where you are going.
Identify what went well, what could have gone better, and what went wrong, and what you would do differently.
Ask yourself what you have learned and achieved.
Learn and use the stop, start, continue method.
Determine what your options are. Then pick the ones that will take you forward and help you to achieve your goals.
Make a list of what you need to do to get you there.
2020 has been a difficult year, it is important to reflect on and recognize how you felt.
Think about the positives as well as the negatives, for example, the way the CoVid crisis made us appreciate each other more.
Many of us have learned new skills to adapt to the CoVid situation.
Businesses have been forced to innovate and pivot.
The CoVid crisis led Jeannette to create a new mentoring business, take on new advisory clients, and start this podcast.
2021 is going to be all around resettling and regrouping.
There is likely to be a recession and Brexit is sure to have an impact too.
Home and flexible working are both set to continue.
The businesses that have survived are leaner and meaner. When the time is right, they will be able to grow fast.
There is a lot of pent-up demand for leisure, travel, better properties, and more leisure pursuits, all of which creates opportunities.
BEST MOMENTS
‘When we have busy lives, we rarely stop to take stock of where we are.’
‘We are so busy focusing on the next thing that we don´t actually give ourselves a bit of credit for what went well. ´
‘When everything is plodding along quite nicely it is hard to pivot.’
