Review

Every year I do a three-part review and planning process. I call it Review, Reflect, Forward. Today’s post is Review. This is a look at numbers and other metrics from my work this year.

Moleskine notebooks used: 6 (they are fill to the brim and now I’m trying to figure to organize and continuous use all that information)

Favorite pens: Pentel Energel (this year I discovered the needle tip 0.5 version and love it!)

Books read in 2015: 33

My favorite reads😐
Show Your Work
Bird by Bird
Me Before You|
Rising Strong

Conferences attended: 9 (I loved going to BBCON and Web of Change)

Number of flights taken: 10

Webinars taught: 19

Clients worked with: 8 (I purposely worked with fewer clients this year so I could focus on the quality of my work as well as other projects)

Blog posts written: 109

Blog visits in 2015: 157,084

Most popular blog posts:

The Power of Sharing a Personal Story

Heart warming emails, notes, tweets, calls that remind me of why I do this: too many too count

Top “pinch me” moments:
#1 – Telling intensely personal stories through my weekly emails and receiving so many stories in return from other people. It’s the most amazing thing!

#2 – Teaching 39 amazing people during The Storytelling Non-Profit Master Class and continuing to hear the amazing results and shifts that are happening in their work and lives.

#3 – Accepting that it’s okay to pivot the focus of my work to personal storytelling in addition to organizational storytelling.  This is a pivot I have wanted to make for many, many months, but it’s only been in the last month that I’ve been able to embrace this and start to make some small changes

You can see my Review from 2014 here.
