As someone who plans in thirds instead of quarters, I recently sat down and reviewed my T2 (May-August aka Summer) goals and progress, as well as planned for my T3 (Sept-Dec aka Year-End). On today’s episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes to share progress and lessons from my Summer goals, and how I’m positioning myself to finish the year strong. Hopefully, it will inspire you to get focused on your own year-end planning and give you a glimpse of how a strategist plans.
