I also had to go back and check, this is what I posted in January…

Professionally, I am keen to actually have a go at a Qualtrics certification…

Personally, I’ve a few fitness goals in mind, one being an ocean swim… hopefully without being eaten by something.  

 

Happy to report I did successfully complete a 1k ocean swim and wasn’t eaten. Progress on my professional goal hasn’t been actioned yet though so time to refocus on that.

Too many to choose from, but I'd say AOT and One Piece.

Two of my goals have remained the same. Being a better parent and maintaining the focus on my health are perhaps not even objectives but more commitments to stay the course. The third item was more a goal and that was about professional growth.

Six months on (and older!) I sense a paradigm shift is happening on how I look at work and what my life should look like going forward. Work has been an important activity that dominated my priorities for the past 20 odd years. The burning desire fanning the flames of an ever progressing career are starting to wane. I'm in new territory and am trying to find my way with this changing perspective...

I've always been someone who enjoys configuring solutions and building implementations for large-scale clients. This year took that experience to the next level when I had the opportunity to design solutions for enterprise-level clients, working on high-level solution architecture and implementation strategy.

I'm also investing time in learning another enterprise experience management platform to broaden my perspective and continue growing as a solution consultant.

Bringing this topic back up in July feels like a bit of a low blow. 😅

Professionally, I've definitely been diving deeper into EX-related topics and have learned a lot along the way. The Qualtrics EX certification, however, is still sitting firmly in the "planned for 2026" category.
Not abandoned, just... well, waiting.

As for the mandolin hanging on my wall, I can technically say I started playing it this year. The challenge is that my definition of "regular practice" currently seems to mean "about once every six weeks."

For the second half of 2026, I'm sticking with both goals and aiming for a little more consistency. Nonetheless, thank you for the reminder. 🙂
