Happy 2023! This week marks a new year, and you know what that means — resolution and goal-setting season.
There is something inspiring and rejuvenating about a new start, a clean slate that breeds opportunity for change and improvement. Kite Hill PR is in the goal-setting spirit this January – an exercise we constantly do with our clients – as we strive to learn, improve and grow individually and as a team. Check out some of our team member’s resolutions for the new year; maybe it will inspire something for your own list!
I will experience some big life events in 2023, including getting married! With that in mind, a key resolution of mine for 2023 is to take time to enjoy the moment while being present in the moment.
- Mackenzie Gavel, Account Director
I plan to be very intentional in feeling more settled in my home, so a big personal goal is to find a new place I can fully personalize. Professionally, I want to get as much brand exposure as possible, so I want to prioritize attending high-value events where I can network.
- Khala Simmons, Senior Account Executive
One of my goals for the year ahead is to prioritize quality time with friends and family. I’m also looking forward to trying some new things!
- Maggie Stasko, Account Manager
I have moved away from resolutions. Instead, I tend to focus on one word throughout the year to keep me focused in every area of my life and this year my word will be determined.
- Charlyne H. McWilliams, SVP
In 2023, some of my New Year’s Resolutions are to practice self-care and live a healthier lifestyle. Since we began working from home in 2020, I haven’t been as active as I’d like to be. I want to make exercise a part of my daily routine, even if it’s just a walk around the block!
- Brielyn Stoll, Account Executive
One of my 2023 New Year’s Resolutions is to continue to learn and educate myself. Whether through reading, traveling, or meeting new people, I hope to be more well-informed about the world, cultures, history, and the arts.
- Ilana Hill, Account Associate
My biggest goals this year are to practice gratitude and get back into my hobbies like reading, art, and exercise. A lot has happened in the past few years, and I want to focus on the passions and people that make me happy.
- Julia Worthington, Account Associate
I set intentions – which involve a more long-term, evolved approach – and not resolutions, which I find to be a more rigid and often unrealistic approach (we can’t always make big changes like flipping a light switch). I intend to continue and deepen my regular meditation practice. And fitness and well-being are always a top focus. If my mind and body are ready to roll, that will always set me up to be my best for my family, co-workers, clients, and the community around me. Oh, and I intend to nail Wordle every day.
- Jeanne Meyer, CCO
My goal for the new year is to pick one area I want to focus on each month. For example, in January, I’ll prioritize health i.e., gym time and diet. February will be focused on creating my ideal home space — decluttering, organizing, etc.
- Kyle Murray, Account Supervisor
The theme of my 2023 is going to be Hygge. The word in Danish and Norwegian describes a mood of coziness and "comfortable conviviality" with feelings of wellness and contentment. Even if in small increments (I have 2 small children), I'm hoping to carve out time to sit and be still in my space.
- Phyllis Beck, Culture & Workplace Experience Manager
In 2023, I want to travel, go places I’ve never been, eat foods I’d never imagined trying, and emphasize experiencing life. I want to get outside my comfort zone a bit.
- Kerriann Becker, Senior Account Executive
