#28 - Can One Word Drive More Success In Your Career In 2024

December 20, 2023 • Kara Dennison and Jack Dennison

In this episode, we explore the impact of New Year's resolutions on career development. We discuss two types of resolutions: approach-oriented goals that focus on growth and empowerment and avoidance-oriented goals that address obstacles and roadblocks. We also share insights on the effectiveness of combining both types for a balanced approach. We delve into the concept of one-word resolutions, where individuals choose a word that resonates with their career or life aspirations. We wanted to highlight the power of hope in goal setting and reference a study by Charles R. Snyder in positive psychology. Join us as we nudge you toward initiating small, immediate actions to integrate your guiding word, setting a tone of intention and impact for your career journey.
