September Reset

September 13, 2020

Sep­tem­ber, for me, has always been a sec­ond start to the year. Peo­ple kick off the first, in Jan­u­ary, with new focus and pas­sion, and good old res­o­lu­tions – and Sep­tem­ber, after time off in the north­ern hemisphere’s sum­mer, sig­nals a renewed vigour, everywhere.

With that in mind, a Sep­tem­ber reset is a great oppor­tu­ni­ty to think about where you want to put that ener­gy, in the rest of the cal­en­dar year, and to pre­pare for your next Quar­ter­ly plan (more on that next week).

  • What do you need to either com­plete or ini­ti­ate this week in terms of your Work, your Self and your Life? (Premise, Your Oxy­gen Mask First)
