word is “Resilience,” it can remind the team to push through obstacles and stay determined in the face of adversity. It helps create a mindset shift, where challenges become opportunities for growth rather than setbacks. When everyone is on the same page about how to navigate difficult moments, the team is better equipped to maintain momentum and continue striving toward success. The Ripple Effect: As a leader, your word for the year isn’t just something that guides your own actions—it has the potential to ripple out to your team, influencing how they approach their work and interactions with each other. The energy you bring to your chosen word will inspire your employees to embrace it, too. It creates a collective focus, helping everyone move forward together with intention, purpose, and alignment. I encourage you to take a moment to choose your One Word for the year and to share it with your team. Make it a team conversation—ask your employees what word they would choose for themselves and why. Together, as a group, you can create a sense of unity, purpose, and shared vision. It’s an opportunity to ignite passion, drive success, and build a workplace culture that thrives.
I invite you to also share your chosen word with me @ fstaten@wfca.org and briefly tell me why you selected it. Let’s create a movement of people who are committed to living with purpose, intention, and clarity. And let’s make 2025 a year where we all step into our full potential—together. As we reflect on the power of choosing a guiding word for the year, I highly recommend reading One Word That Will Change Your Life by Jon Gordon, Dan Britton, and Jimmy Page. I just finished it, and it was a short and incredible read. The book explores how focusing on a single word can transform your life, both personally and professionally, by providing clarity, purpose, and direction. It’s a great resource for anyone looking to start the year with a meaningful focus and to harness the power of simplicity in their goals and actions. If you haven’t yet, it’s definitely worth checking out! Here’s to a focused, purposeful, and thriving 2025!
