How would you describe 2009 and 2010?

I have been reading many blogs reviewing 2009 and thoughts for 2010. My favorite so far was April Dowling's "New Year Theme" post. My goals for 2009 involved coaching, feedback, change management and exercise. Although all of these things improved for me, I don't feel successful. I never could have imagined the changes and experiences that I have had in 2009. According to a Sr. HR pro that gives me advice, I earned my HR stripes this year. Here's my perspective of a crazy 2009.

Change management, feedback, coaching, networking, goals, loss, right sizing, retention, compassion, laws, COBRA, benefits, ADA, military, expense controls, revenue growth, productivity, profitability, government, employee relations, operations, talent, leadership, strengths, honesty and involvement.

Being a HR Superstar, I know how to create SMART goals, but I'm going to go with Penelope Trunk and visualize 2010 with my not-smart goals for 2010: Change management, more feedback, more coaching, more networking, goals aligned with company objectives, right size, retention, compassion, benefits, ownership, leadership, great HR, more blogging, more social media, process improvement, marketing and SHRM certification.

Whatever your goals for 2010 are, make sure that you write them down. Feel free to use the comments section as a start... Here's to a healthy and happy 2010!
