TIPS FOR GOAL SETTING FOR 2025
It’s that time of the year again where many of us have come back to work from a relaxing Christmas break. I always have so much clarity with what I want to achieve for the year ahead after having a few weeks off. 2025 is going to be a big year, both professionally and personally for me, so I like to set my goals of what I want to achieve for the year. Goal-setting is the process of taking active steps to achieve your desired outcome. If you stick to your plan, you can achieve what you put your mind to. It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to look back on the year and know you have achieved what you had set out to do for the year. Here are some tips that I always find helpful when I go to set my goals:- Set goals that are realistic and things that are important to you. If it’s important to you, the likelihood that you will work hard to strive to achieve it is high.
- Put your goals in writing.
- Setting SMART goals i.e.:
- Specific – clear goals.
- Measurable – eg. Exact dates of when you want to achieve by.
- Attainable – realistic goals that you will be motivated to achieve.
- Relevant – this is really important for what you are wanting to achieve on a personal and professional basis.
- Time – put deadlines on it to create that ‘sense of urgency’.

I guess you walk into an environment where everyone basically understands how things work, and you’re the one trying to piece it together at the same time. You’re learning systems, figuring out who does what, remembering names, and at the same time trying to show why you are here and why you were […]
Starting a new job in a new industry gave me a sense of excitement, uncertainty and eagerness to learn. Coming into the role as a recruitment consultant at Optimum Consulting, my basic understanding of recruitment was “finding people a job”, and whilst that may be a very vague part of the job, I’ve quickly understood that there is much more to it.

Eight weeks ago, I started a new career in recruitment after 11 years as a legal assistant. What led me here was not a sudden epiphany. It was a nearly 12-month-long job search that allowed me to experience firsthand what candidates say is broken about the process. As a candidate, I felt invisible more times […]
I’ve always loved this time of year in Asia. There’s an energy that’s hard to describe unless you’ve experienced it firsthand – the build-up of anticipation, the spring cleaning and new sheets, the red and gold, the ang bao and the yusheng. I’ve been fortunate to experience Lunar New Year in Singapore, Bangkok, Ho Chi […]
