EPISODE GUIDE

Every January starts the same way. Big goals. High hopes. And a familiar sense of pressure. But not this January.

In this episode of In Confidence, Lisa Sun shares a 5-step practical planning strategy designed to help you step out of resolution pressure and into clarity. Drawing on 11 years advising Fortune 500 CEOs and more than a decade building Gravitas through growth, setbacks, and reinvention, she adapts how companies plan their one year and three to five year strategies and applies it to your life.

You will learn how to:
* Identify what is worth building on and what needs to change before you set new goals
* Stress test your 2026 plans against your time, energy, and real constraints, so they work in practice, not just on paper
* Eliminate goals that cancel each other out and prioritize the ones that compound
* Decide what deserves your attention this year and what can wait, without constant overwhelm
* Create a plan you can adapt over time instead of abandoning at the first setback

This episode includes a downloadable workbook so you can plan alongside the conversation and create a strategy that feels realistic, focused, and sustainable.

If you are ready to stop repeating the same January cycle and start building real momentum, it is time to plan your life like a CEO.
