Happy New Year! As January comes to a close, are you still feeling positive about your New Year’s resolutions? Interestingly, this year, in the blogs and podcasts I follow for personal growth and inspiration, I’ve noticed more emphasis on making New Year’s Intentions with goals, rather than just resolutions. There’s encouragement to take action, instead of making vague promises for the future (resolutions). The difference is subtle, but taking action allows you to measure your steps toward your goal and see your progress, versus a vague promise to change something about yourself that often leaves you feeling frustrated and defeated.
It’s a small mindset shift, but it makes a big difference to be able to celebrate your steps along the way toward your goal and measure your results toward the change you desire. Setting daily intentions that are steps toward your ultimate goal allows you to be mindful of your actions, rather than living in guilt over things not done that relate to a resolution.
At Events by Marylee, we’ve taken time this month to celebrate the wonderful successes and joys from our events in 2024, while also analyzing areas where we excel and those where we can improve our performance and service as we set our intentions for 2025. We hold a morning mindfulness huddle to discuss the strategy for the day, week, and month ahead. It helps us stay focused during busy times and forces us to slow down and plan – one of our strengths: planning and logistics.
This has also been a time for professional development, and we encourage all staff and administrative team members to take part in coaching or skill-building programs to enhance our skills and strengthen our services to you.
As part of our plan for 2025, we recently attended a wedding conference and worked with an expert wedding and event professional. Here are some of his takeaways from the analysis of our business:
