Want 2023 to be your most meaningful year yet?

Then listen up, and get those glitter gel pens ready. This conversation will fire you up to set some SERIOUS goals... 

Today's guest, Zach Mercurio is an author, researcher and speaker on all things related to purposeful leadership. Back in March, off the back of tumultuous change and transition in my own life, I reached out to Zach to share what I'd been noticing personally, and amongst many friends and clients - a desire to connect with something bigger that ourselves, a yearning for community, and a collective recognition that what we have all gone through this past few years has been BIG.

In true Zach style, he responded with authentic and compassionate care, and a spirit of curiosity that in my opinion, needs to be shared widely. So, with my fingers crossed tightly behind my back, I invited Zach to join us back in conversation. Here it is.

I'm always grateful for the insights gained from considering life's biggest gifts and miracles with Zach. In time for your end of year reflections and 2023 planning, I'm delighted to share with you his practical, everyday habits and reflection tools that can help you set goals around what, and who, matters most.
