Resolutions fade because they lean on willpower; real change sticks when it starts with who we choose to be. We open the year by replacing frantic goal lists with identity-based leadership intentions, narrowing focus to what truly moves the needle, and committing to the next small step that creates momentum.

Drawing on two decades of coaching CEOs and senior teams, plus lessons from pioneers like Sir John Whitmore and Peter Bluckett, we map a practical path from inspiration to follow-through.

You’ll hear why January isn’t magic and why clarity beats hype every time. We unpack three approaches: anchor your intentions in identity rather than tasks, limit yourself to a maximum of three clear intentions you can say in one sentence, and define the first step you’ll take this week.

Along the way, we share concrete examples—from building psychological safety to carving out strategic time and becoming more visible as a thought leader—showing how small, repeatable actions outperform perfect plans. The thread through it all is accountability that fits real life: light structure, honest reflection, and steady progress.

We also introduce our February Focus Bootcamp for leaders who want to turn intentions into measurable outcomes without adding noise to an already full calendar. Over four focused sessions, we clarify core intentions, expose hidden resistance, and build a sustainable action plan that actually sticks. If you’re ready to enter 2026 with clarity, momentum, and a grounded sense of who you are as a leader, this conversation offers a clear starting point and the support to keep going.
