What do you want in 2017?

As you go into the New Year, it's really tempting to make a load of bold resolutions and set some major new goals. But before you do, I think it's extremely important to look over the past year - what you've achieved, what you haven't, what you've learnt. Once you have taken the time to reflect and record, you will then be in a much more informed place to decide what you want for you and your life, in the next year ahead.

So, I would like to share with you an exercise I give to all of my clients - enjoy!
