Who Do I Need to Become in 2025?

Jan 08, 2025

As we step into the new year, the air buzzes with excitement, resolutions, and the promise of a fresh start. But how often do these resolutions lose their momentum before the first quarter ends? In episode 60 of Leading with Heart, I offer a transformative perspective on how we approach growth and goals: Instead of asking what do I need to do, start asking who do I need to become?

Why Identity-Based Change Matters

Most of us tackle the new year by setting task-oriented goals: Lose weight, earn a promotion, stick to a new routine. But often, these resolutions are disconnected from the deeper question of why we want them. I challenge this approach by introducing the concept of identity-based change—aligning your goals with the person you aspire to become.

By starting from the inside out, you create goals and habits that are deeply rooted in your values and priorities. This approach brings clarity, intention, and lasting change. It’s not about adding more to your plate; it’s about aligning your actions with the vision of who you truly want to be.

A Simple Shift with Big Impact

In this episode, I guide you through a pivotal mindset shift:

  • From “What do I need to do?”
    Task-based, external, and often fleeting.
  • To “Who do I need to become?”
    Identity-based, internal, and deeply fulfilling.

This subtle but profound change leads to more meaningful actions, habits, and outcomes. It’s a shift from focusing on “checking boxes” to living a life aligned with your values and aspirations.
