The beginning of the year signifies a fresh start and a new outlook for the year ahead. As both personal and professional lives of many have adapted to abrupt change these past months, now is the perfect time to set career-focused goals for the New Year. At Kite Hill, we encourage everyone to participate in career-focused goal setting to expand, focus and hold ourselves accountable for how we navigate through our professional journey.
We asked some of our Kite Hill employees to share their goals for 2021. Here’s what they shared.
“I want to find creative ways to reconnect with my network. With everyone battling Zoom fatigue, I'm going to take advantage of other methods of communication like snail mail.” - Rachel Hadley, Chief Operating Officer
“A few of my goals are to work smarter and also to take advantage of Kite Hill’s unlimited time off! I also want to stay up to speed on the fast-moving possibilities of data and performance marketing.” - Jeanne Meyer, Chief Client Officer
“I want to find a hyper-local group of like-minded professionals to connect with and build new relationships.” - Phyllis Beck, Office Manager
“One of my goals is to be more intentional. I find that it can be so easy to get caught up in ‘keeping up’ with our daily tasks that we forget or forgo moments to take a breath, reflect, and then act. In 2021, I strive to stay focused on not just the goal, but the bigger picture.” - Mackenzie Gavel, Account Supervisor
“This year I want to challenge myself to always be learning. I want to participate in more workshops and online events to further hone in on my PR skills.” - Moira Shannon, Account Manager and Marketing Specialist
“In 2021, I want to continue to build strong media relationships and stay up to date with the latest on all things media and tech.” - Rachel Wyncoop, Account Manager
“This year I would like to focus on increasing my industry knowledge and staying on the pulse of trending news. I would also like to join a professional organization and expand my professional network.” - Krystal Parker, Account Executive
“As I continue working on bylines and pitches I want to improve upon my writing skills. I also want to spend more time staying on top of industry news in order to share valuable editorial opportunities with clients!” - Kiera Fitzgibbon, Account Executive
“One of my professional goals for 2021 is to continue to learn. As I am just starting out in my professional career, I want to be able to learn as much as I can so I can continue to expand my knowledge and grow my skills.” - Kerriann Becker, Account Associate
By prioritizing professional goals, you can successfully navigate your career in the year ahead.
