"Is my life, my energy, moving toward that which is most meaningful?"

Similar to an August vacation, the holiday season is a natural time of reflection.

The fwd1 (“forward one”) series has introduced a small set of questions and prompts to help examine how we turn our intentions into action, at an individual level. These habits are solid basics; in some ways they merely scratch the surface. I hope that they’ve been helpful, even if in a small way.

How might the underlying principles—of discernment, direction, alignment, intention, and action—be put to further use? Here are three areas of potential leverage:

·      Individual – Continue development of self-mastery and leadership skills

·      Team – Build working group habits, cadence, trust, and accountability

·      Organization – Identify cultural strengths/gaps, and intentionally shape organizational health

If you'd like to discuss any of this, I would love to hear from you.
