What's your word for 2009?

At this time of year thoughts turn from reflection about lasts years achievements (or lack thereof!) to what next? What do we want to have achieved by the end of the coming year.

It's easy to get suckered into making New Years resolutions, but you know what happens ... by the end of January ...

This morning the first thing I read was an inspiring blog post by Christine Kane about how better to start your year.

This got me thinking about my word for 2009. The word I choose is IMPACTING. Pure and simply I want to BE "for impact" this year. And, that doesn't mean noun impact defined as "The power of making a strong, immediate impression." it means the verb impact in the sense of "To have an effect or impact on."

What's your word?

about Stuart Browne

Since 1997, I've been a Management Consultant working with technology in large organisations. Over the past 10 years or so, I've worked for some of the World's biggest consulting firms including PricewaterhouseCoopers, IBM, and Axon, and in corporations like as BP, Xerox, T-Mobile, Delta Airlines and Unilever.

Consulting alone didn't give me the variety I crave. Nor did it satisfy my need to work with people and help them reach their true potential.

In 2003. I set up Resulting Ltd. My ethos for Resulting is simple - I deliver Results for my customers and enjoy the work that I do. Instant Impact is one of many initiatives I'm involved with that fits with this ethos.

I published my first book in 2006. How to be exceptional is a personal change handbook that has helped people in all walks of life become better at what they do best.

Away from work, I coach a junior Rugby League team and also play guitar to relax.
