Happy New Year! I’ve been thinking about what my one-word mantra will be to motivate me for the year ahead. For 2024, my word is – activate! The beginning of a new year is a time for reflecting on all that lies ahead – and I don’t think there has ever been a more appropriate time to activate innovative approaches and embrace change. Rather than shying away from the possibility of the unknown, our future will continue to be shaped by daring to explore. That’s a core belief that has shaped the 106-year history of Forbes, and there are so many examples of how we have activated at pivotal moments before. In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll activate in so many different ways internally and externally, and the way in which we do so will herald us into the future. 2024 is the year I plan to activate on the shifts, transitions, innovations and disruptions that are sure to come our way. I look forward to seeing what 2024 has in store for Forbes and our partners, and hope you find a word that can motivate you in the year ahead too! #OneWordMantra #NewYear #2024 #activate
Very good article This year my daily one word mantra is relax!! Sometimes we get so busy we don’t take time to smell the roses So each day I take time to consciously relax and repeat this word This allows me to clear my head and think so I can summon the best in me Thanks for sharing
Michael Federle Love this. I have been doing the one word for your year thing since 2008. This year's word is "DO" - as in activate, ship, just do it. Great to share the vibes in 2024.
I agree. My word is "intentionality"--which is executed by activation or even disengagement with things that don't serve the greater cause. Cheers to 2024!
Love this!!! My word is #Impact. My work has to empower individuals, dismantle barriers, and cultivate inclusive and equitable spaces. Cheers friend, Let's activate to impact.
Love the disruptive approach - I was considering 'optimism' for my mantra, but then I remembered I'm British.
With 2024 being a year that is bringing a lot of action based thoughts and plans in minds of many, that is a PERFECT word to encapsulate it.
Hello Michael Federle after too many years of people working remotely, my word for 2024 is Connected. Looking forward to seeing old friends and colleagues, face-to-face, in-person.
Wow. That is my motto as well.
