I’ve always loved the start of a new year because it gives us something powerful, a fresh start.

No matter what last year looked like, the new year invites us to reset, refocus, and do things differently.

Instead of setting resolutions that often fade within a few weeks, I encourage you to focus on intentional goals that require clarity, planning, and action. At Next Level Training Solutions Group, we use the SOAR framework to help leaders move from intention to impact. SOAR Into 2026 S — Strategy: Start with a clear strategy. Ask yourself: Where am I going this year, and why does it matter? A strong strategy gives your goals direction and helps you stay focused when distractions arise.

O — Objectives: Identify the most important objectives that will move you forward. Instead of trying to do everything, focus on a few key priorities that align with your personal, professional, and leadership goals.

A — Action: Goals don’t happen without action. Break your objectives into realistic steps you can take consistently. Small, intentional actions—done well—create momentum over time.

R — Results: Pause regularly to reflect on your progress. What’s working? What needs to shift? Measuring results helps you stay accountable and make meaningful adjustments.


Leadership Is Influence

You are a leader, and 2026 is your opportunity to take full ownership of your life and direction. Leadership isn’t defined by a title only—but it’s more about how we influence others. Every day, each of us shapes others through our actions, words, and choices at work, in business, and in life. When you lead yourself well, your influence naturally grows.


As you enter the new year, ask yourself:

  • How do I influence through my actions?

  • How do I influence through my communication?

  • What example am I setting for others?

Think Holistically About Your Goals

As you plan for 2026, take a holistic look at your life and leadership. True growth happens when strategy and self-awareness work together:

  • Are there any mindsets or thinking patterns you need to shift?

  • Does your attitude support growth?

  • Are your daily habits aligned with the results you want?

Simple Ways to Start Strong

  • Choose 2–3 meaningful goals instead of many

  • Apply the SOAR framework to each goal

  • Build accountability into your plan

  • Reflect, adjust, and keep moving forward

Ready to Take It to the Next Level

At Next Level Training Solutions Group, we believe growth is intentional, and leadership begins within. This year is your opportunity to start fresh, lead with purpose, and SOAR into your next level.

Here’s to clarity, confidence, and meaningful progress in 2026.

Warm regards,













CEO & Founder
