Happy New Year – A decade in review and new resolutions

My daughter’s 10th birthday was a few days ago, but it wasn’t until the drive home from work yesterday when every radio show was talking about “The decades 10 best…. the decades 10 worst….” that it hit me, a decade has passed, and wow what a decade it was. If I wrote down the activities going on right now they would seem very similar to 10 years agon on the surface, yet differences like living in New Jersey and living in Maryland are greatly significant. I’m not here to write a memoir of the last 10 years, but to publicly acknowledge all that has wonderfully changed.

Resolutions

1. Relax and enjoy. When I worked in New York City I was onced asked if I was from California, because I was so laid back. Now, well, that’s not the case. So while this is not a SMART goal (see www.ipeccoaching.com for definition) I will stop looking for what’s next at every moment, and enjoy what I’m doing instead. Which is:
2. SharePoint in Government - I will be working to bring the best SharePoint solutions to all of my consulting engagements. I’d share my exact tactics, but some things need to be kept into suspense until they’re released (ok, several white papers at least)
3. SharePoint User Group – Participate in a local DC SharePoint user group as a leader (or maybe even create my own adventure)
4. SharePoint Presentations – Present at at least 2 SharePoint Saturdays, and build some core presentations around government Collaboration.
5. SharePoint Blogging – Post at least once a month, more if possible.
6. Relax and enjoy , That includes a vacation without e-mails, blogging or tweets!
