Maintaining a Growth Mindset: How to Set Intentional Goals to Succeed This Year
As we work our way through the first month of 2022, now is still a prime time to assess our past accomplishments and plan for the year ahead. When it comes to your career, how are you feeling?
Did you start at a new firm?
Did you receive the title you were working towards?
Did you earn any new degrees or certifications?
Did you reach the financial goals you set for yourself?
Whether you reached all of last year’s goals, or you’re adding them to this year’s list again, setting intentional time in the new year to plan the next steps on your career path is a proven way to gain direction and feel empowered to tackle new challenges and opportunities.
As the questions prompted above suggest, it is vital to take time to assess your current position and progress on goals before you begin planning for the future.
Are you happy at your current firm? Are you thriving in the environment, feeling challenged and encouraged to be the best you can be? Do you feel appreciated for your efforts and rewarded accordingly?
If you aren’t entirely sure, that’s ok! That’s where I can step in to help you.

For those who are satisfied in their current firm, consider how you can grow and expand your skills to advance your career. Continually growing as a professional is invaluable, and keeping an eye on emerging trends and skills will help you stay top of line. I recommend blocking out intentional time each month or quarter to research new trends/skills and invest time in educating yourself. This will not only benefit you, but your firm and clients as well.
In order to manage and assess your progress throughout the year, it is essential that you are creating challenging yet attainable goals and, most importantly, writing those goals down. According to CNBC, you become 42% more likely to achieve your goals and dreams simply by writing them down on a daily basis. Consider sitting down with your partner or manager to discuss your career plan and create goals that will help you reach those ambitions.
