How to finally accomplish your overdue goals
|
Hi there, Do you have projects or goals that you keep putting off? Maybe it’s preparing for a marathon, finding a new job, or—like me—writing a book? Let me share a personal story. Twice, I’ve started writing a book and twice, I’ve stalled. But now, I’m on my third attempt, and this time, I’m fully committed to finishing it. So, I’m making a declaration: I’m working on a book for leaders about transforming disengaged, alienated teams into high-performing units. I’m excited to share that every other week, I’ll be updating you on my progress and offering some sneak peeks and tips from my upcoming book. Here’s a glimpse of what’s coming:
Why Bother?We all have goals that seem to slip through our fingers. It’s not about lacking desire or capability; often, it’s about structure and accountability. That’s why I’m sharing my journey with you—so we can hold each other accountable. And I want to do the same for you - let’s chat. If you feel stuck with your goals, let’s talk. Find a time on my calendar and let’s get some traction for your aspirations. Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means a lot to me. And remember, it’s never too late to start or restart a goal. Take care, Daria PS - If you enjoy these updates and want to stay in the loop, follow me on LinkedIn for articles and posts on leadership and team development.

Hi Reader, For the last few months, I’ve had many conversations with HR leaders and executives about what an AI strategy for their organization should look like. And there’s a paradox running through all of them. Very few CEOs and C-suite leaders rely on their most senior HR leader to unlock the value of agentic AI, even though HR is usually the heaviest user of AI in the building, automating recruitment, onboarding, reporting, and compliance. I wrote about that paradox for the Forbes Coaches...
Hi Reader, One of the most important lessons I learned as a Chief People Officer: it's not enough to know your function. You know how to deliver engagement programs. You know how to develop people, what the key recruiting metrics are, all of it. But the most important thing — the thing that shapes a career — is understanding how your function is driving business results. And this isn't only an HR problem. The same goes for IT, admin, marketing — any function. Some get there. Some don't. Today...
Hi Reader, This week, a company asked me to help them build an AI policy. And they kind of expected me to ask them about the tools they use, the rules they apply, and how they can check whether people are actually following those rules. All reasonable questions. But I didn't start with any of them. The first three I asked were: How do your people feel about AI? How do you keep it from getting in the way of their judgment?
