2019 Is quickly coming to an end and the Winter Solstice signals a time to refocus. A good friend of mine did a great reflection and planning exercise with a group of us last year - teaching us to Focus Like a Laser Beam (great book by Lisa Hanneberg). I took a look at the reflections and planning for the year 2019 today and it is so interesting to see where you were vs where you are.
I find myself a bit more reflective this year than last. I was starting a new job in January and the focus was very much on bringing problem solving skills and creativity to the job. It turned out to be a year packed with finding solutions, implementing systems, and refocusing on what was important for the health of the association. Lots of fires fought and a learning curve which totally met my need to be a lifelong learner! This year it feels good to be transitioning to strategy and new ideas. Interestingly, my personal focus moving into 2020 looks a bit more centered on the now. How my state of being can affect my experiences as I move into this more strategic thinking is really resonating with me. I am keeping my word- Intention going into 2020. I am adding Permission. In this case, permission to self care, permission to create, permission to think "out of the box." I hope you too give yourself permission to be great in 2020.

Liza HollandAuthorI have always loved words and reading. I was that kid that had her nose in a book to and from school. The crossing guard saw me coming and stopped traffic so I didn’t have to look up! As I grew into professional life, I did lots of writing - published articles, newsletters, ads, white papers, reports, grants, op eds, blogs, you name it. Recently, I took what would up being a sabbatical to Europe. My husband was offered a great opportunity and we spent a year in Belgium and a year in Ireland. It was magical. I did so many things I never had time for, including joining a writing group. Having time to think, I came back to Kentucky with 2, count them, 2 book ideas. I hope to share the journey of the coming to fruition with you.Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview. Archives
