It’s Time to Assess, Reflect, and Move Forward

I Support You

I know each of you are facing two important processes that will not only financially impact your life, but will impact your job satisfaction and work-life balance:

  • Your year-end review
  • Your performance objectives for 2017

For your year-end review, now’s the time to pull out your 2016 objectives, recognition you’ve received, and any SMART changes you discussed at your mid-year review.

And you can use this guidance to set your SMART goals for 2017.

If you have any questions, want to toss around a few ideas, or need any help, please do not hesitate to contact me.

You’ve got this!
