It's almost 2017! Ryan Kahn, career coach and founder of The Hired Group gave advice on what mistakes people make in the new year.
- They don't reflect on their accomplishments. Don't take your success for granted.
- They forget to set goals. It's important to think about your long term and short term steps around the New Year.
- They leave loose ends. Spend the extra time now to make sure you can enjoy worry-free time off.
- They fail to disconnect. Avoid checking your email or phone messages.
- They neglect their network. It's important to maintain the relationships in your life. Consider sending out New Year's greetings.
- They don't give thanks. Successful people never forget the people that have helped them reach their goals.
This is very helpful advice as to what not to do. I know I'll be taking some time out of my day before 2017 to set New Year's resolutions, finish up any unfinished work, and reach out to my professional and personal network to maintain contact. The holiday season is a great way to talk to the people you haven't talked to in a while. What did you think of this advice? Is it true and do you have any of your own advice from your observations or experiences?
