Happy April Fools Day! April 1st will always be a special day for me - it was 13 years ago today in 2004 when I took the plunge and moved back to Canada after working globally for most of the 90s and early 2000s. Vision loss in one of my eyes made me pause in 2003 to consider my next move. Would I stay working globally but behind a headquarters desk, or would I do something else? I knew that I wanted to keep working with teams and groups, but could not do the same amount of travel anymore with my sight. And so, with several suitcases and boxes in hand, returned to Canada to start Potentials Realized. As we celebrate our 13th birthday next week on April 7th, it's pretty neat to see the achievements and thousands of professionals - leaders, teams, coaches - who we've been able to work with, and support in realizing their potential, through better conversations and coaching, or clarified skills and insights. about how to work more effectively - individually or as a team.
For some today marks the start of a new fiscal year, and with that, new possibilities and options. What are you excited about? What changes do you want to make?
Given that it's April 1st, it's also a great time to stop an look back at the last month for some reflection and do some planning for the month ahead. I hope that you will grab 10-15 minutes and take stock of the last month (or last year if today is a new fiscal year for you) and do some planning for the month (or year) ahead. here are some questions to consider:
Looking back to March (or the last fiscal year):
1. What key goals did you, and the team, achieve?
2. What helped you be successful?
3. What worked really well? What didn't?
4. What changes do you want to make?
5. What were key relationships helping you to be successful?
Looking to April:
1. What are your key goals and projects this month?
2. What do you want to focus on?
3. What do you want to say no to?
4. Where is it important to place attention this month?
5. What else?
Have a great weekend,
Jennifer
