Friends, I’m thrilled to share with you that I’ll be hosting Your Year to Shine: A Goals Workshop in early 2024!
 
This workshop is a culmination of my many years of practicing and studying goal-setting. For the past several years I’ve had informal goal-setting sessions with friends to kick off each new year. It’s always fun, insightful, and energizing, and for years I’ve wanted to be able to offer that to more people. With Your Year to Shine I’m finally able to do that and I’d love for you to join me.

The workshop will include attending a two-hour online goal-setting workshop with me in early January plus a beautifully designed workbook to guide your goal-setting. During Your Year to Shine, I’ll walk participants through the goal-setting process I’ve developed over several years and along the way will share strategies and encouragement. If you join, by the end of the workshop you will have thoughtfully articulated your goals for a year to shine while accounting for your season of life and what matters most to you. Plus you’ll have ideas for making progress on your goals that fit your personality. In addition, we’ll talk about different tools for planning and tracking goals, how to know if it’s time to pivot from or abandon a goal, and I’ll share some of my personal goal-setting wins and failures.

I’m hosting the workshop in early January instead of before the new year starts because I’ve found that I can give my goals and the year ahead my best attention once the holiday hubbub is over. Workshop participants will receive an email ahead of the workshop with the Your Year to Shine workbook along with simple prompts to reflect on to prepare for the workshop.

I started this blog in January 2011 with a post about my goals for the year. Since then I have made it a practice to regularly share my personal goals in this space and on my Girl Next Door Podcast. In the 13 years since that first goals post (!) I’ve become fascinated with the power and art of goal-setting. Continuing to set goals, working towards them (or pivoting from or abandoning them), and seeing how my life has changed along the way has brought me a lot of wisdom that I love to share. In addition to my personal experience and goal-setting process, I’ll be bringing the best lessons from the books I’ve read about goals, happiness, and being intentional with time.

What I’ve found is that setting a goal is both a simple and profound act. A goal is simply a statement of something you want to accomplish. But it can also be so much more than that. When well-considered, a goal can be a spark that brings a meaningful impact into your life. In Your Year to Shine I’ll guide you to create goals that you’ll be excited to carry forward, that fit your season of life, and that will help you make 2024 an intentional and fulfilling year.

    This is awesome! My friend and I are in the earliest stages of planning our 2024 goals retreat, and I sent her this the second I listened this morning! Thank you for sharing this gift with others!

      Thank you so much for sharing this, Erica! I love this time of year when I start percolating goals. Whether you join the workshop or not I’m wishing you lots of good energy as you plan and dream for 2024! I love that you do a goals retreat together!

    Congrats, Kelsey! This sounds amazing. 🙂

    Also, unrelated but I LOVED your recent episode about night owls vs early birds. I found it so fascinating. I also loved hearing about how you fit your workouts out in at different times in the day- some early, some later, etc. You have such an intricate schedule worked out, and I found it very inspiring. I can get caught in the trap of thinking I have to have every day look the same. I really struggle sometimes to zoom out and think of other options! So this was really great inspiration to think outside the box a little bit. 🙂 Hope you enjoyed your Early Morning Monday today.

      Thank you so much, Kae! Oh this is interesting in terms of wanting every DAY to look the same. I can understand that! I think since having kids Chris and I have always had to switch off workouts and instead I think about having a consistent rhythm to each WEEK and that is definitely doable. And I think then I look forward to different days for different things…like Mondays for my early morning ritual and my later High Fitness class, Tuesday evenings for painting my nails, Wednesday mornings for Orange Theory, etc. Haha, I did indeed have a lovely early Monday morning, thank you!

    Congratulations! This sounds just what I need. I’m very goal oriented but it’s hard to actually achieve or at least start. It comes and goes. I get very distracted with the 4 kids. But that should not be an excuse. Need to be more consistent. I would love to register but not sure because of the time. My family and I will be coming back from out of town that day in the afternoon. Is it super critical to be in person through zoom? I bet it’s better but I don’t know. Please let me know what you think. Thank you so much!

      Thank you so much, Brizna! I don’t think it’s critical that you are at the workshop live and I will have available for anyone who registers for a month or more after the workshop so that people have time to watch if they could not attend or re-watch. There will be guided reflections and goal-setting during the workshop that you could do during the re-watch just like you would if you were there live. I hope that helps! And whether you sign up or not I hope you find some time for reflection and gentle goal setting for the new year. Just making any time and setting small goals and checking in on them is a powerful practice…and a placeholder for when you have more time as the kids get older!

    I am eagerly looking forward to participating. As I navigate through the next several weeks, I can relax knowing that I will tackle goal-setting after the new year. I am a long time podcast listener and I can’t think of anyone I would trust more to walk others through goal setting!

      Oh I’m so happy to have you, Jen! Yes I love that – relax through the holidays and you already have a place-holder for dreaming and planning for 2024. It’s going to be great! Hope you have a cozy and restful holiday.:)
