Words to banish and those to live by in 2022

Timothy O’Neil-Dunne of T2Impression pens a calendar year-conclusion piece that captures his views on the imagining that desires to improve and the new words and phrases to embrace in the new yr.

ENDING my formal function posture this year has supplied me a great deal to assume about what 2021 has arrive to imply and what we need to aspire to in 2022. 

In the finish I arrived up with five important words that we need to have to are living by – first of all though, we require to banish the use of some terms that are keeping us back and avoiding us from moving to a superior globe. 

Listed here are
my listing of words and expressions to be banished.

1. Write-up-pandemic. There is not heading to be a publish pandemic. A sobering imagined, we are now in the new regular.
2. Just in time. We have been so focused in performance and just having items accomplished though reducing waste that in simple fact we have eliminated some of the main of the vacation company. I feel we will need to alter that mentality
3. Governing administration handouts. They are not coming. Get around it. We waste considerably way too much power in this hope that the federal government owes us a residing and will occur to our rescue. Anticipations will if not be dashed. 
4. The shopper is often correct. The sense of entitlement that has turn out to be an assumption of the solutions and solutions we present, I believe that has turn into a destructive resulting in some of the worst illustrations of client behaviour we have at any time witnessed. This is not just confined to the Usa and other so known as-civilised nations.
5. Hope. To quotation a incredibly well known saying – hope is not a strategy. 

My words
for 2022 are these:

1. Agility. We have to be considerably additional agile than we have at any time been just before. There is also resilience and self-reliance. The days when we can depend on outside assist are long gone. We are in this with each other and on your own.
2. Accountability. We have to account for our actions such as what we have been carrying out to the planet. I really despise the phrase sustainability as it only implies the status quo. I believe we have to be accountable to the planet and long term generations as well as to the custom of the consumer and our companions. Accountability usually means we have to be ready to stand powering what we say and do. Accepting the consequences for (as an case in point) choosing not to be vaccinated. 
3. Creativity. We have been sliding in direction of a environment in which the major acquired also massive and every person else experienced to survive in the significant guys’ orbits. Creativeness is how we get out of here to a new and extra enlightened globe. We have to be creative. Everybody, not just the bosses and the designers. We have to assume of much better methods to do even the most mundane. 
4. Joy. Satisfaction has to be aspect of what we do. The wonderful resignation I believe is driven in component that quite a few people today in our sector misplaced the skill to delight in the do the job they do and the goods we present. Pleasure spans anything. Our interactions and our hopes and dreams. I could of stopped below. 
5. Kindness. When I concluded this checklist – I experienced a nagging emotion something was just missing. So for my final term – I realise that we could have shed that. At existing I see considerably too lots of illustrations of individuals not remaining kind. But kindness begets kindness. Kindness in of by itself is so worthwhile. Sometimes just a easy thank you will go a extended way. 

Merry Xmas, Pleased New Yr and here’s to a fruitful and satisfying 2022. I have been blessed with this community. I have taken risks to be a part of the neighborhood in several endeavours. I will attempt up coming yr to do the exact.
