    [Ep#400] 6 Mindset and Practical Shifts to Make This Year Your Best Yet

    [Ep#400] 6 Mindset and Practical Shifts to Make This Year Your Best Yet

    Are you ready to make 2024 your best year yet?  
    In the latest episode of the Women in Leadership Podcast, Annemarie Cross and special guest Karen Crowell shared 6 mindset and practical shifts to help you level up this year. These strategies are designed to help you overcome challenges, set and achieve your goals, and elevate your success, no matter what industry you're in.  
    Here are 3 Key Takeaways from this episode: 
    🔑 Audrey's Inner Circle Audit: Auditing the 5 closest people we surround ourselves with can have a significant impact on our focus and mindset. If we can't change the people we're around, we can change the conversations we have to ensure we're getting the positivity and support needed to thrive.
    🔑 Crunch Time Question: Asking, "If I am to achieve a dream that had previously seemed impossible within the next 12 months, what would I have to let go of, and what would I have to embrace?" is a powerful way to gain clarity and focus on the steps necessary to achieve our goals.
    🔑 Focus on the Fix, Not the Fault: Shifting our focus to finding solutions rather than dwelling on faults can be a game-changer. This mindset shift allows us to take responsibility, learn from setbacks, and move forward productively.
