In this episode, Wendy talks to Mary Byers, author, speaker, and coach, who helps organizations and individuals set priorities and develop winning focus, about Mary’s experience with her “One Word Year” experiment. Mary explains how she has let one word guide her each year for the last decade, and how that’s helped her to concentrate on what’s most important, simplify her focus, and improve her life. Wendy and Mary discuss the power of this practice and Mary provides guidance on how to pick a word, how to let it guide you, and when to abandon it. Wendy explains the impact of feelings-based goals v. behaviour-based goals and the importance of flexibility when it comes to permanently changing habits and thinking. Wendy also shares her “one word” for the new year and how it came to her after she became an empty nester earlier this fall. The “One Word Year” is a wonderful alternative to making a laundry list of New Year’s resolutions you’ll never be able to keep. If you’re looking to make some lasting, meaningful change in 2023, you’ll absolutely want to listen to this episode! More about Mary Byers: https://www.marybyers.com
