15 Resolutions You Should Make this Year to Get Ahead

Resolution 1: Conquer a fear

Is there a pesky fear that's holding you back at work? Think about what that may be costing you. 

For example, if you're afraid of public speaking, it may be costing you opportunities to share your hard-won industry knowledge with others. Look for small opportunities to overcome the fear and you'll gain confidence and opportunities to shine. 

Resolve to: Sign up for Toastmasters and practice speaking up at any meetings you attend. Strive to speak up once in every meeting; then up the ante and aim to speak at least twice, etc., until you're completely comfortable speaking in front of a crowd.
