5 Practical Steps to Make Your New Year Resolutions Stick

Fed up with broken promises and unmet expectations?

Imagine if every New Year’s resolution you made truly stuck. How much happier, healthier, more relaxed, and successful could you be?

 

If you’re one of those rare individuals who have mastered this, we’d love to know your secret. For the rest of us, achieving meaningful, sustainable change doesn’t require magic—it just needs the right approach, tools, and support.

 

Why is change so hard?
Most resolutions fail because they focus on behaviours—and behaviours are tough to change. They’re rooted in patterns we’ve developed over time, influenced by our unique experiences and the actions of those around us.

 

Think of your mind as a field filled with seeds—some thriving, some needing care, and others that may need removing or replacing.

 

Lasting change requires:

  • Defining Clear Priorities: Establishing a foundation by recognising what matters most and clarifying goals (aligned with the Defining stage of the DISAM framework).
  • Identifying Focus Areas: Understanding blind spots, strengths, and development needs (Identifying).
  • Setting Meaningful Goals: Breaking change into measurable, achievable actions (Setting).
  • Acting with Support: Taking consistent steps with tools, resources, and guidance (Acting).
  • Measuring Progress: Tracking outcomes and adjusting strategies for sustainable impact (Measuring).

What difference could this make?
For individuals, addressing blind spots and taking small, focused steps can unlock potential, improve well-being, and build confidence.

 

For businesses, empowering employees to grow in competence and resilience creates a ripple effect of positive change—enhancing workplace culture, improving customer satisfaction, and boosting performance.

  • Career Progression and Retention: Employees with access to professional development opportunities are more likely to stay with their employer and report higher job satisfaction and motivation.
