Happy New Year! Chinese New Year that is. I saw it on my calendar, and while my mind was trying to fill in the blank for "Year of the _________", I came up with several other options before I landed on the correct answer of Snake.
The year of the Snake "is meant for steady progress and attention to detail. Focus and discipline will be necessary for you to achieve what you set out to create." This sounds like my kind of year!
If you aren't a believer in the Chinese zodiac, could you adapt the "Year of the..." idea and focus your efforts in a different, yet meaningful way? What if you made it the Year of the Volunteer -- and did special recognition for all those who donate time to your organization? The Year of the Legislator -- and you focused on informing government officials at all levels of your benefit to their communities? The Year of the Alumni -- where you reconnected and acknowledged the foundation that those who came before us contributed to the organization? The Year of the Teenager -- to prepare the next generation of leadership and make them aware of the challenges in the world around them? Or the Year of the Neighbor, taking special steps to build community with those who live and work near our organization's home base?
You may not have kept those resolutions you made on January 1. Here is your chance to start the New Year fresh and make steady progress in one focused area. It could really make a difference for your organization this year.
