#36 Intentions Over Perfection: Grounded Goal-Setting

Sometimes plans can change in an instant—especially in healthcare leadership. All that work, thinking and well - planning - are out of the window. In this episode, I’m considering plans and goals from a different perspective - that of values-based intentions that then create choices - that you can make in the moment. By anchoring your leadership goals in what truly matters, intention-setting empowers you to adapt to unexpected challenges while maintaining clarity and purpose. Like my holiday reshaped by an unexpected kitten, a reframe is OK, when you have an intention that matters to you. I’m also getting into those frequently recommended SMART goals and have a couple of other suggestions that might suit you more. As we face a new year, that new page on a brand new notebook, what matters most and how will you capture that?

Step into Katie's Leadership Lounge, hosted by Katie Quinney, for conversations that feel like a necessary deep breath in the middle of a demanding day. This podcast is specifically for those navigating the unique pressures of leadership and work within healthcare. It’s not about adding more to your to-do list, but about creating a space to pause and reflect on the human side of management. Each episode offers a fresh perspective on the challenges you face, from team dynamics and personal resilience to the broader systems that shape care. You’ll hear honest discussions that blend practical business insights with thoughtful self-improvement, all grounded in the real-world context of healthcare. The aim is to leave you with more than just information-it’s about feeling genuinely refreshed and reconnected to your purpose. Tune in for a podcast that understands the weight of your role and offers a supportive dialogue to help you carry it forward with renewed inspiration and clarity. This is where the complex art of leadership in healthcare gets the thoughtful, nuanced attention it deserves.
