## Resource

If you're tired of setting goals only to abandon them by “Quitter’s Friday” (the second Friday in January), this episode is for you. We're sharing a better way to approach goals (that actually makes them stick), inspired by James Clear’s Atomic Habits, lessons from legendary coach Nick Saban, and our own experiences. Denise opens up about how one candid moment helped her break a lifelong habit of procrastination. We also break down why most workplace goals fail (hint: it's not about willpower) and what to do instead. If you want to turn your 2026 resolutions into REVolutions, this episode will help you take the first step.
