What do talented women want most for 2017? I don’t think you’ll be surprised when you see the short list below that I’ve compiled from my own clients and colleagues.
These wishes are probably yours, too.
What will you do in 2017 so that you make these wishes come true? The world is waiting for you.
Here are five statements from some of my clients and colleagues regarding their wishes for 2017:
- I want my work to count for something. It needs to make a difference, and I need to see and feel that difference so I know I am contributing. Mary S., executive vice president, banking
- This is the year I am finally going to go for it. I’m tired of waiting, of playing it small. What do I have to lose by risking? Not as much as I do if I remain where I am. Susan L., executive director, national non-profit
- I’m ready to do what it takes to make work fun. I’ve built this business from scratch, and it has been hard. I’ve sacrificed a lot. It’s time that I strike that life-work balance and put the fun and creativity back into what I do. Tamara N., vice president, wealth advisory firm
- I’m going to leave a leadership legacy before I get old. I guess that means I need to create it, now – to begin now, and begin with my team. I want to leave this company, this industry, and the status of professional women in a different, a better place. Barbara C., consultant, international transportation firm
- Can I have everything? Can I just have everything I want? I think I finally can. Because I’ve streamlined my desires, and the things that are important to me are too much so to neglect. So I’m going to define my own success this year, and not try to copy or compete. I’m going to get what I want – my way. Patricia J., partner, law firm
Do you resonate with any of these? All of them? What are your deepest desires for 2017, and are you finally willing to go after them?
