Your Theme Words for 2023

Earlier this month, I shared with you my theme word for 2023: fun! And I’m having a lot of fun hearing about your 2023 theme words. I love the variety and the inspiration I’m finding in all of your thoughtful intentions.

If you’ve chosen your theme word, keep the momentum going by choosing the one or two next actions you will take to bring your theme to life. Remember, you don’t have to figure out the whole year at once. Trying to do so just ends up being overwhelming. Once you complete those first couple of steps, then you can identify a couple more.

If you haven’t chosen a theme word for 2023 yet, it’s not too late to set the tone for the rest of the year. Maybe the responses here will spark an idea for you. (You can also still share your 2023 theme word with me and other members of the Newberry Executive Solutions community.)

My theme word of this year is grace. I’m going to work at going out of my way to give compassion, kindness and love throughout 2023.

  • Susan Asimakis

Joyful! I want to have a joyful life and do things that bring me joy. When I do things that bring me joy, I attract joy. Joyful!

  • Nicole DiRocco

Emerge.

– Yvonne Evers

My theme word for the year is opportunity. I want to open myself to all the possibilities in life and work. I want to do things differently than I have before and see every risk as a reward.

  • Jeannie Gardner

I so love this exercise. I've chosen a word for the last several years. And this year, it's actually an acronym: #THINK2023. I want to think more so that my responses are:

Thoughtful
Helpful
Inspiring
Nice
Kind

— Renee Hansen

Mine is growth. Keeping a growth mindset in terms of new opportunities, personal development, building new relationships, turning lemons into lemonade. Here's to growth for all in 2023!

  • Sally Siegel

Mine is gratitude.

  • Beth Spinda

My word is investment: putting in the work now and seeing benefits later.

— Amina Thomas
