Welcome back to Your Community Strategist! In this first episode of our six-part goal-setting series, we're diving deep into your 2024 community journey. Close your eyes and think back to January—what were your goals, and how did things turn out? Today, we’re reviewing the highlights, the hurdles, and everything in between, giving you a clear picture of where your community stands at year’s end.

I’ll walk you through setting up your "community report card," breaking down goals into tangible insights, and using a SWOT analysis to map out strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Plus, you’ll learn how to turn challenges into stepping stones, identifying what worked and what didn’t, and setting the stage for 2025.

Ready for more? Join me at the Strategy Lab, our upcoming three-day retreat, where we’ll dive even deeper into reflection, planning, and creating a winning strategy for the new year. Let’s get intentional about building the community you and your members deserve.

Tune in and start paving the way to your best year yet! 🎧
