We create learning experiences to help individuals, managers, and teams launch and lead.
September 29, 2021
Every year, at the end of September, I invite everyone who reads Wednesday Words to pause and write a letter to themselves.
Here’s how it works:
Consider this a chance to pause before the hustle of the holiday season launches you into a new year and new chapter. You might write about what has gone well over the past year, which challenges you faced, what advice you want to remember, and/or what you hope the coming year will bring. Simply start the letter with Dear [Your Name], and see what surfaces.
This will be one of the first things you do in 2022 — you can design the moment however you’d like. But don’t overthink it. A few of your own words, in your own writing, will be enough.
I find there’s power in these community-designed traditions, even if they're practiced solo. They become collective pauses to review, reset, and rediscover small pieces of ourselves. And especially after the past year, I find these practices especially meaningful.
Sign Up for A Reminder
If you’d like to participate, stop by bit.ly/newyearsletter and I’ll send a reminder on October 1st and January 1st. You’ll be quietly and secretly joined by hundreds of others, myself included.
