Word of the year has been one of my favorite reflection and personal growth practices since I learned about it in coach training over 12 years ago, and I’ve done it almost every year since.
My words have shaped my growth, leadership, and even my business and this podcast. Unapologetic was my word the year we launched ONE Question: Unapologetic Questions for Unapologetic Results, and this practice continues to influence how I think, teach, and coach.
As part of this practice, I always take time to review my word and how it challenged me, what it taught me, and where it stretched me before deciding on my focus and goals for the year ahead.
That’s why, in Episode 199, I’m unpacking ONE Question to rethink your word of the year and use it as a tool for deeper personal and business growth in 2026.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- My word from 2025, how it became a powerful teacher for me, and the biggest lessons and gifts it offered, including how it supported my biggest revenue year and cash months yet in business.
- How I think about the word of the year practice and use it throughout the year to support intentional growth and decision-making (hint: the “result” isn’t just picking the word).
- ONE Question I use to uncover my growth edge and let my word and focus for the year ahead reveal itself.
