Happy new year, Dear Readers! Are you ready for it? Do you see the many possibilities ahead besides the growing rumblings of a recession? Now that we’ve left 2022 behind, it is critical to pause and reflect on the people and things that matter to you. As you know, Dear Readers, the JMS team is a big proponent of introspection and invites you to review the past year in depth. Of course, the point is not to wallow in past failures but to be more compassionate as you reflect on why you did not hit this year’s targets. Once you know why, Dear Readers, you can formulate a more robust yet realistic plan for your 2023 goals.
Welcome to the JMS blog, your hub for actionable crisis management tips to level up your brand.
We are back to answer your branding questions after an unexpected, prolonged hiatus working with executives across the U.S. to assess their strengths/weaknesses and beef up leadership skills. Dear Readers, if it is your first visit, this blog is the brainchild of JMStrategy LLC (JMS), a Philadelphia-based crisis management firm that helps brands in free fall strive again.
In the aftermath of the pandemic, the Great Resignation, and the Quiet Quitting chaos, this blog shares practical insights to enhance your leadership style, team management, and goal-setting skills amid any crisis. Now, without further ado, let’s get to a few prompts to help you reflect in depth and walk into 2023 like a boss!
Do you know what you want to achieve in the new year?
So, Dear Readers, this blog spends a lot of time exploring concepts of productivity, time, and money management as you overcome crises of epic proportions at work or in your private lives. But do you know what you want to achieve in the new year?
Having dreams is a good start but breaking them into manageable steps is more effective. Dear Readers, to successfully crush your goals, you must align them with your core values. Essentially, core values dictate the quality of life we strive to achieve. For example, prioritizing achieving a work-life balance to raise your young children does not align with the focus it takes to make a partner at a law or accountancy firm. Do you see, Dear Readers, how the core value of putting your family first does not align with the professional goal to be highly competitive and consistently make the most billable hours for the firm???
While this blog cannot tell you what you should focus on in the new year, it is here to support you on your journey to finding purpose, contentment, and meaningfulness.

What are simple questions to review that will help you navigate better the new year?
Dear Readers, your annual review does not need to be an overwhelming process. Creating anxiety is not the point of doing this reflection. Instead, let us look at your annual review as an opportunity to change your life in the new year. Here are four questions to make the process less daunting:
Did I change my mind about my career? Your professional journey is yours, Dear Readers, no one else’s. Therefore, you are allowed to change your mind and want different things.
What created energy, and what drained me? Dear Readers, as we get older, everything seems to slow down, or it takes more time to accomplish every task. So, success comes down to leveling up your energy more than managing your time. Consequently, Dear Readers, you want to identify and keep everything or anyone that boosted your energy into the new year and dump everything else. It’s just dead weight!
Why did I let fear stop me? So many times, Dear Readers, we let fear stop us because it distorts reality. We imagine the worse and underestimate ourselves so much that we fail more often than we should. But if you can identify the opportunities you missed out of fear, you are accurately deconstructing fear and changing your relationship with it. In the new year, Dear Readers, do not let fear stop you from achieving what you want ever again!
What are highs and lows? Listen, Dear Readers, each year is an invitation to learn and grow. That’s why we grow most in challenging times and learn less from successes than hardships. Thus, Dear Readers, you want to take the time to reflect on the road traveled thus far before plotting your 2023 goals.
