🎯 New Year’s Resolutions | Badge of the Month | January 2025

I think I did the “take a screenshot of the display settings screen and circle the resolution” joke last year, so I’ll actually be serious this time.

This year, I resolve to be better at updating my team’s internal documentation library when we change a policy.

In 2024 I started a pretty dedicated pilates and yoga practice, and I resolve to continuing that in 2025! I also resolve to learn more about AI and stay sharp on new tools and technologies as a UX designer.

Being more diligent about documenting fields in the directory, tickets, and  custom embedded data fields in the survey flow. 

Personal goal: I am in a book club that meets monthly, but it’s easy in life to have reasons why I can’t attend (work commitments, kids, etc.).  My goal is to read all of the books whether I can attend or not.  This last year, if I knew I wouldn’t be able to attend, I didn’t hold myself accountable for the book.  It’s a diverse group of a people that attend and because of this, I read books I would have never chosen for myself, and I love that!

In 2025 I want/need/commit to scheduling professional development time. Last year was Qualtrics certification, this year will be Project Management cert.

Hoping to get a big project underway revamping our surveys, from questions to survey types/collection/logistics to metadata and dashboarding. This was a pet project I pushed for, and got the buy-in, so it’s a bit personal!!!

In 2025, 

1. Try to hit 2.1k points.
2. Lose weight (at least 10 kg).
3. Find time to read at least a tenth of the Custom Code section to learn more about the applications.

I see my 2025 full of collaborations. more CX advocates in my organization, and co-create better solutions for our customers.

Goal is to have optimum utilization of number of hours spent on work.

Workwise this year, i’ll be aiming for the XM Discover certification and hopefully be able to put some time aside for a React course.

This year, I have planned to be more productive by:

• Working out more and getting in better shape.
• Drawing and sketching more.
• Reading more books.

My goal is to increase productivity as I am feeling like delayed tasks. So want to focus on how better to manage my to do list. On personal side to visit atleast 3 new countries in Europe. 

Personal Goal: This year, I aim to travel and explore as much as possible—new destinations, cultures, and experiences are on my radar! ✈️

Professional Goal: I’m focused on becoming an expert in EX, deepening my skills, and making an impact in the field.

Happy 2025!

Professionally, I plan to commit to at least one professional development training a quarter.

Personally, I’ve been using my standing desk/treadmill to walk 60 min a day while working. I am planning to find time in the day to add to this, (yoga, flexibility strength training, etc.) to become the best physical version of myself that I can.

​@CMurph , I’m also aiming to incorporate different forms of exercise—strength training, swimming, and yoga—this year!

Love your commitment to collaboration and advocacy! It will surely lead to better solutions for your customers!

​@AlonsoC - Swimming is SUCH great exercise, and for me at least, really clears my head. In my experience, you honestly can’t think about anything else when you’re swimming. Here’s to increasing our fitness this year! 💪🏼

This year I resolve to build a knowledge base for our organization that crosses silos and serves all guest-oriented teams. We have so many different business units with varying degrees of success in maintaining up-to-date information and I hope to bring it all together! 

Personally, trying to be fit and read more books (try different genres).
Professionally, learn more and active here in forums.

Personally, aiming on reading more books.

On a personal note I am increasing my exercise and starting with changing my Pilates class from once to twice a week.

On a professional stand point, my goal is to focus on building my own personal brand, as part of work to align our enterprise on an exciting and updated CX strategy - beyond existing connections today.  

I want to hone my focus on “what’s next” for my career and take definitive steps to get me closer to leveling up.

that is amazing and super ambitious! Good luck!

Personal Goal: Wanted to come to X4

Professional Goal: Getting expertise in Qualtrics EX and AI

My personal / professional goal is to continue prioritizing work-life balance. It’s so important to keep time for ourselves to stay productive and motivated at work! The rest should follow.
