Episode 8: Strategic Planning – How to Accomplish More in 3 Months Than Most Do in a Year

Do you ever feel like your big, ambitious goals are out of reach or that you lose momentum halfway through the year? What if you could accomplish more in just 12 weeks than most people do in 12 months?

In this episode of Hire Me Pls, I, Gemma, your dedicated career coach, reveal the third step in my career coaching framework: strategic planning. We’ll dive into a powerful system called the 12 Week Year, inspired by the book by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington. This framework shifts you from thinking annually to operating in focused 12-week sprints, keeping you motivated, productive, and on track.

You’ll learn:

• Why traditional, year-long goal setting often leads to burnout and stagnation
• The essential steps of the 12 Week Year, from setting quarterly goals to daily execution
• How to create a sense of urgency and celebrate more frequent wins
• My personal story of transformation and how this method revolutionized my productivity
• Practical tips to break down goals into manageable, impactful steps

Whether you’ve struggled with sticking to New Year’s resolutions or just want a better way to focus your efforts, this episode will give you the strategies you need to work smarter, not harder.

🎧 Tune in now to find out how you can make the next 12 weeks your most productive ever!
