269. Set Intentions, Not Resolutions: Get Vision-Ready for What’s Next

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Part 1 of our four-part Fresh Start mini-series -  a companion episode to Ep. 268 where we invite you to get vision-ready with us.Whether you’re stepping into a new year, a new team, a new financial reality, a new role, or a whole new life chapter - or it simply feels like time to turn over a fresh page, this episode is about setting your intent for the phase ahead.Rather than making promises that can add pressure or create quiet guilt, we explore a mindset reset: progress over perfection. When we focus on direction rather than demands, energy and momentum follow.We unpack psychologist Julian Rotter’s work on Internal vs External Locus of Control, and why seeing yourself as the agent (not the victim) of events is linked to stronger wellbeing, clearer decision-making, and better personal and commercial outcomes.Finally, we share our brand-new FRESH intention-setting tool:  a simple, team-friendly way to galvanise focus and momentum. It’s ideal for meetings where you want people to leave feeling Focused, Realistic, Empowered, Strategic and Happy about the task-load ahead.A calm, motivating listen for anyone ready to reset their lens and move forward with purpose - no matter our age, stage or background. As Maria Robinson reminds us: “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
