Have you reached the halfway point of the year wondering where the time has gone?

If you'd like to feel more focused, intentional and excited about the months ahead, this episode is for you.

In this solo episode of HR Coffee Time, Fay shares a simple but powerful Mid-Year Reset exercise that will help you pause, reflect and decide where you'd like to focus next, instead of simply drifting through the rest of the year.

Using the simple Stop, Start, Continue framework, you'll reflect on what's helping you, what's holding you back and the changes that could make the biggest difference during the second half of the year.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why halfway through the year is the perfect time to pause and reflect
• How the Stop, Start, Continue framework can help you gain clarity
• Reflection questions to identify what you should stop doing
• Ideas for what to start doing to have more impact and enjoyment at work
• Why recognising what's already working is just as important as making changes
• How to turn your reflections into practical actions you'll actually follow through on
• Simple ways to finish the year feeling more focused, fulfilled and proud of what you've achieved
