We heard from a number of leaders who enjoyed this resource last year, so we’ve created a new version for 2013. Whether you’re gearing up for summer in the Northern hemisphere, or settling in for winter in the Southern hemisphere, we share resources below in celebration of everything you’ve accomplished over the past six months. How are your accomplishments from the first six months creating momentum for the remaining six months of 2013?

 

The midyear point also serves as an occasion to get excited for the accomplishments and opportunities that lie in the remainder of the year. What’s next for you? What will be a powerful focus for you for the rest of 2013?

 

Below are a few resources our team is using in our personal and professional lives to support us. What resources would you add? Please post a comment to add your ideas.
