Water Cooler Wisdom with Jill Barnett and Julie D'Anastasio

Celebrating 2024 and Setting our Intentions for 2025

 As we wrap up 2024, it's time to reflect on the year and set our sights on 2025. In our latest conversation, we delved into the importance of reflection and goal-setting. Taking time to reflect on the entire year, not just the recent months, helps us celebrate our growth and achievements. Here’s what we discussed:

  • Reflecting on the Year: How to take stock of both professional and personal milestones.
  • Celebrating Growth: Recognizing and celebrating the challenges we overcame and the lessons learned.
  • Setting Goals for 2025: Creating value-based goals and choosing a theme or word to guide the year.


Whether you're looking back on 2024 or planning for 2025, remember: every step forward, no matter how small, is worth celebrating. Let’s embrace the new year with intention and authenticity. 

Worth

 So often we’re tempted to allow outside factors to determine our worth, however our worth isn't defined by external achievements or others' opinions—it's rooted in our self-awareness and belief in our unique value. 

  • Understanding your worth as inherent 
  • Being willing to be Inconvenient 
  • What taking action in your worth looks like 
  • Core Pillars: How to define, why they’re important and how they relate to your worth 

Compensation

Insights for businesses, managers, and professionals:

  •  Strategic approaches to compensation for businesses and managers  
  • Being paid competitively for the work you do and how to take action 
  • How to advocate for competitive pay as professionals.  
  • Pro-tip: It’s as much what we ask for as it is when and how to ask.

Making a Career Pivot

Have you ever felt the nudge to change directions in your career, but fear kept you planted where you are? You’re not alone. In this week’s conversation, we explored the art of the pivot. Change can feel daunting, but here’s the truth: fear is a mile wide and an inch deep. What feels impossible often loses its power when you take that first step. In this conversation we explored:

How to know when you're ready for a pivot
Living in Uncertainty and Moving through Fear
First steps you can take to start to prepare

Whether you’re contemplating a leap or are in the thick of uncertainty, remember: pivots are about evolving into who you’re meant to be. 

Career Changes - Exploring Internal and External Opportunities

Sometimes, we find ourselves yearning for something different—whether it's expanding our knowledge, doing our job in a new capacity, or even at a different company. In this episode, we explore how to take the first steps in owning your path. Remember, making a career change can feel overwhelming, but it starts with small, manageable steps. 


  • Exploring Internal Opportunities: Find ways to step into new spaces within your current organization.
  • Taking the First Step Externally: Updating your resume and preparing for potential changes.

Being Present

The magic of the holidays isn’t in the to-do lists or the perfect plans—it’s in the connections we nurture and the memories we create. A big part of that is presence and being present is more than just showing up—it’s about how we show up. This episode gives some great tips on how to slow down, reconnect, and truly be present not just for others but for yourself too. We explored:

  • Being intentional with your time
  • The 3 layers of Presence and what “Being Present” actually means
  • Tactical tools to help in the moment
  • Somatic healing and true self-care 

Authentic Appreciation & Gifting

Discover how to celebrate, recognize, and connect to create truly great moments for everyone involved.

  •  Thoughtful Gifts and Heartfelt Words: Combine thoughtful gifts with heartfelt words of affirmation to show genuine appreciation. 
  • Team Swag: Consider team swag that everyone can proudly wear, fostering a sense of unity. 
  • Handwritten Notes: Handwritten notes can make a big impact. 
  • Holiday Dinners and Gift Exchanges: Organize smaller holiday dinners or gift exchanges to ensure everyone feels included and valued. 
  • Client Events: Create events where clients and employees can both participate, fostering a deeper connection to community.
