How to Begin the Year Like a Human

Practical tips from our team
for a human and impactful 2021

While a new year often brings hope, optimism, and energy, this year is different: we are also keenly aware we are entering 2021 in the midst of a pandemic. 

How do we start this unique year with intention, in a way that will set us and our teams up for success? We’ve pulled together a quick video of each People Piece team member sharing one intention and one corresponding practice for a human and impactful 2021.

2020 gave us a decade worth of lessons in a single year. We learned that to be successful, we need to show up as human beings. That means slowing down, working smarter not harder, and leading with our hearts and minds in all aspects of life, from work and family to community health and our own self care. 

In this video, our team of leadership coaches and team facilitators share practical actions they’ll be taking to stay human in 2021.

Ending with intention invites the opposite of all the above. We feel more relaxed. We learn from our efforts (and leverage them in the New Year). We think more strategically and end up focusing on more of the right things. By cramming less onto our plates and ending with intention, we are more impactful – not less – and we feel far more fulfilled.
