Like many of you, the beginning of the year for peoplezest is about reflection, growth and priorities. It is a time to look back on last year and review what worked, what didn’t, and how that can intentionally transition into progression for this year. As part of this process, I like to take the time to come up with what my word of the year will be. Some years, this takes many days of contemplation and sitting with my thoughts. This year though, it came almost immediately—once I had the word, that light bulb went off and I just knew it was perfect for what I wanted to speak into existence for the year! Before we move forward with the 2023 word, I’d like to take a moment to look back on 2022.
For 2022, our word was intentional and I feel we accomplished that. We were intentional with growth through bringing on two new team members and had our strongest year to date. We were intentional in building our relationships by bringing on new clients and continuing to nurture the business developed with existing ones. We were intentional with our customer service focus, receiving much great feedback and working to continue improving as the year progressed. Intentional was such an important word to me, not because of what was able to be achieved, but how it was achieved. I intentionally wanted to keep the peoplezest core values of passion kindness and belief at the forefront of everything we did. Through this, our big accomplishments were made possible!
And now for our word of the year for 2023… REFRESH! Peoplezest wants to focus on making sure we are giving reinvigoration to our relationships, endeavors, and growth opportunities. It is a year of reflecting and improving upon the past 20 years. Can you believe it? March 2023 peoplezest will be celebrating 20 years in business. We will be looking back at our placements over the last 20 years and reconnecting with the clients and candidates we worked with in helping shape their career journey. I’ve already been reminiscing with a few of those candidates and it is exciting to see the many who have soared in their career. For our clients, we will highlight those who have grown with us through all these years and even opened up business to us through their progression in companies and professional growth.
We hope the beginning of your 2023 has pointed in the direction that is right for you. Peoplezest looks forward to continuing to work with you through executive placements, strategizing services, career counseling and resume needs.
