Ep 155 - New Year Career Goals: Connect With What You Actually Want | Career & Leadership Real Talk

We're kicking off 2026 with the second part of our reflect, connect, commit framework. If you haven't listened to our year-end reflection episode yet, go back and start there - you'll get much more from this one if you do the reflection first. This episode is about connecting with what you actually want for your career (not what you think you should want) and then committing to action that will make it happen. We talk about why SMART goals leave us cold, how to figure out what energises you versus what drains you, and the difference between dreaming big and taking the first step. Key points from this episode Why your definition of career success changes (and why that's important to understand) The difference between values and priorities when it comes to career planning How to identify who and what energises you (and why that matters more than you think) Why we hate SMART goals and what to do instead The commitment question: what will you do in January that signals you're serious? 00:00 Introduction: Connect and Commit for 2026 01:00 The Reflect, Connect, Commit Framework Overview 03:00 Values and Priorities: What Does Career Success Mean to You? 05:00 Pam's Definition of Success: Impact Over Everything Else 06:00 Jacqui's Realization: Financial Success AND Fun 08:00 More Of, Less Of: What Do You Want to Change? 09:00 Who Energises You?
