Keep, Start, Stop: A framework for New Year’s resolutions
A lot of us are thinking today about 2011 and making New Year’s resolutions. I’m thinking a lot about what I want to achieve in 2011 and reflecting on 2010. As I’m reflecting today, I’m drawn to a framework for feedback that Peter Bodenheimer taught me and we use in feedback sessions with clients.
Make three types of resolutions:
Keep doing
Start doing
Stop doing
My resolutions this year are going to be less about goals for 2011 and more about doing more of what’s working, less of whats not. The Keep, Start, Stop framework helps me isolate my resolutions and change behavior and set plans to achieve them.
Happy New Year! Wishing you a happy, healthy and successful 2011.
