1) Action
As in, take some action. I talk so much about what I want to do, or could do, or should have done. Nothing happens until you take action. Doors can open left and right, but you have to walk through in order to see the next. In my case, I want to talk to as many people as possible about discovering and using their strengths to improve their lives, an idea introduced to me by Marcus Buckingham almost three years ago. In my case, I use personality type knowledge to help people re-discover themselves.
2) Health
Everyone’s goal, right? Rather than having one particular plan that I want to follow, though, I’m trying ideas. In November, it was eating vegan for 30 days (yes, I was born and raised a steak and potatoes girl, but there is life after beef). I survived. Last week I started 30 days of Green Smoothies for breakfast. I bought a Blendtec and everything. So far, so good! And I’m still eating mostly vegan. Mostly.
3) Online presence
This is the year for me to start building an online presence. Funny to say for an ex-web developer. You would think I’d be online all the time. And I am – but I haven’t been contributing. There’s nothing wrong with lurking, but if my goal is to talk to as many people as I can this year about discovering and applying their strengths then I need to start connecting.
That’s what occurs to me today. These might morph over time – the only constant with me is that nothing stays the same – but expect the themes to linger.
Combine this three words idea with Mark Dykeman’s idea for a Content Idea Matrix and hopefully I’ll have a lot to write about in 2010!
Do you know your strengths? Can you communicate them to others? What topics would help you out the most? Leave them in the comments or tweet them to me and that’s where I’ll start.
