Your one word for 2024
If you could choose one word to mark your intention for this year, what would it be?
I’ve been selecting a single word for several years now and, looking back, they mark different phases of my work and my personal development. “Commitment.” “Discipline.” “Connect.”
My one word helps me make more mindful choices. It shapes how I spend my time each day and who I spend it with.
This year, my one word is “resonance.” I think of it as matching the energy that’s inside me—my values, interests, and abilities—with what I want to bring into the world. This will include working on projects that resonate with me, like sparking self-determination and psychological in the workplace (especially for operational employees). It also means being intentionally more authentic in my relationships, and in which activities I choose to do.
Your one word can be a kind of guidepost, something that reminds you of the direction you want to head in. It can be another way to express what you intend to do and be.
