The January Reset

Start 2026 with clarity, intent and purpose - not chaos.

Created by Jo Macdonald - Career Coach & Your Personal Cheerleader 

A self-paced January reset for anyone seeking a competitive edge for 2026.  Reflecting on the year that’s been, setting clear intentions, and creating a clear plan they can actually follow.

The January Reset - Kickoff is 5 January 2026

self paced for your busy life. 

Reflection. Intention. A clear plan for the year ahead.

If you don’t pause, you drift.

Most people rush into a new year running on habit, pressure, and other people’s expectations.

• They set goals without reflection
• They chase momentum without direction
• They end up exhausted by March and throw throw the whole plan out the window.

The January Reset is your intentional pause.

A space to reflect on what’s been, choose what matters now, and set yourself up with clarity and confidence for the year ahead.

This is how you give yourself a competitive edge — by being deliberate, not reactive.

Who this Reset is for ?

This reset is for you if...

• You want to start the year intentionally, not reactively

• You know reflection leads to better decisions, but rarely make time for it

• You want clarity without overwhelm

• You’re ready to stop drifting and start choosing

• You want a plan that fits your life, not a rigid routine

This is not just about careers, because we work to live.  That is what we are here for.

It's about how you show up this year. 

The Structure

What you'll work through at your own pace is...

Week 1: Reflection
First challenge drops, with guided prompts to look back on the year that was, what worked, what didn’t, and what you’re ready to leave behind and what you are super proud of. 

Week 2: Intention
Second challenge is a good old brain dump of all the things that are floating around in your fabulous brain, clarifying what matters this year, what you want more of, and how you want to feel moving forward.

Week 3: Plan
This week you get to pick and choose what you want to be going after and making it into a clear actionable plan.  By the end of this year, you are going be ticking off some things that might have been on your list forever.  Turning insight into direction, so you’re not just inspired, but intentional.

We finish together

At the end of the program, we come together for a live vision boarding session.

This session is where everything comes together.

• Your reflections turn into focus.
• Your intentions become visible.
• Your direction for the year ahead is planned.

You’ll receive a Canva vision board template, so you can create something meaningful, personal, and practical — not fluffy or unrealistic, but 100% YOURS.

No artistic skill required.
Just intention, clarity, and space to think.

What You'll walk away with?

By the end of The January Reset, you will have:

• A clear understanding of what you’re taking into this year
• A grounded sense of direction
• A simple plan you can return to throughout the year
• A personal vision board aligned with your goals and values
• A calm, confident feeling of “I know where I’m heading”

That’s your competitive edge.  

You are clear in your mind about what you want, you have it all layed out and now you start your action plan to make it happen for yourself.
