Episode 502 One Word Changes Everything

Every January, leaders feel the pressure to set new goals, fix what’s broken, and chase big resolutions—many of which fade by February. What if there was a better way? In this episode, we explore the power of choosing one word to live byinstead of a long list of New Year’s resolutions. Drawing from our Star Words practice at Messiah and personal leadership experience, we talk about why a single guiding word brings clarity, focus, and sustainability—for leaders and organizations alike. I’ll share why my word for this year is Enjoyment, how our leadership team is choosing their own words, and how this simple practice can transform the way you lead in the year ahead.
