Why you need to celebrate the small wins

Hello there, 

I hope you are well.

A coaching client of mine had a stellar year in 2024 and was worried they would not be able to sustain the same level of momentum in the year ahead.
 
They had been recognised for their work, invited to sit on a high-profile board internally, elected to be a committee member and hand selected to be the mentee of a high-profile executive. 
 
I was quick to remind them, when it comes to building a personal brand and achieving career success, there is a time to plant seeds and there is a time to harvest. Success tends to only be measured in the harvest, yet you can’t have one without the other. 
 
I suggested to my client that perhaps 2025 was all about planting seeds and while on the surface it might not feel or look as though there was momentum, it would be creating fertile ground for another harvest in the future. Planting seeds includes, building relationships, asking for opportunities, sharing your thought leadership, and investing in your personal and professional development. 
 
The moral of the story – reframe success to also include the process and celebrate every seed you plant, even the small ones, into growing your goals and dreams. 

I hope this helps

Warmest wishes

Carlii
