happiness
Each new year fills me with optimism. Perhaps it’s because having a fresh start on the calendar gives us the chance to think bold thoughts and set new personal and professional goals.
Whatever the reason, celebrating the past year’s achievements and establishing a plan for the next 12 months always makes me happy. Every January, my husband and I set a goal together along with our personal goals. Having a formal plan helps us make decisions throughout the year, which is essential to keeping equilibrium in our home. In “Balancing act: Calming the work-life chaos,” you’ll find tips on how to keep all the moving parts of your life in harmony, which is something we all can feel happy about after the busy holiday season has passed. This New Year, I am inspired by the optimism of our alumni. One shining example is Michael Johnson, MBA ’04, who overcame incredible obstacles while growing up in the roughest parts of Chicago. Today, he is a true champion for children, offering them hope for a better life through his role as CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Dane County in Wisconsin. Here’s to a New Year filled with hope and happiness!
