**Ready to Take the Wheel and Steer Your 2025 in the Right Direction?**

Join Coach Jackie, a certified Career Development and Mental Fitness Coach, for an inspiring and action-oriented virtual workshop designed specifically for the queer community: **Own Your Year: 2025 Goal Setting for the LGBTQ+ Community.**

If you’re ready to get clear on your future, create an achievable vision, and set goals that actually stick, this workshop is for you. Together, we’ll turn the invisible into the visible, set clear goals for your career, relationships, and overall well-being, and make sure you’re starting 2025 with a map in hand.

**About the Workshop**
Most New Year’s goals fail by January 15, but **Own Your Year: 2025 Goal Setting for the LGBTQ+ Community** is here to change that. Coach Jackie will guide you through powerful exercises to set meaningful, motivating goals, and keep them alive throughout the year with an accountability-focused approach.

In this 2-hour virtual session, you’ll gain clarity, motivation, and a solid action plan designed to bring your dreams into reality.

**What You’ll Experience**

* **Clarity & Visioning**: Identify and focus on the goals that matter most to you for 2025, across career, relationships, and personal well-being.
* **Mapping Your Path**: Create a clear road map, starting with where you are now and guiding you to where you want to be.
* **SMART Goals & Action Planning**: By the end of the workshop, you’ll have 2-3 goals with specific action steps for each, crafted in SMART format to ensure success.
* **Accountability for the Long Haul**: Learn how to stay on track and keep your motivation high, with tips on building accountability into your journey.

**Why Join?**

* **Dynamic, Fun & Engaging**: Coach Jackie’s coaching style is motivational and interactive, making goal setting fun and empowering.
* **Real Tools for Real Results**: You’ll leave with a tangible road map, clarity on what drives you, and steps to turn intentions into achievements.
* **Support Beyond the Workshop**: Join us for a follow-up coaching session to help you stay on course throughout 2025!

Own Your Year: 2025 Goal Setting for the LGBTQ+ Community

Online event

Hello! Jackie here.
Join us on Sunday, December 29, 2024, at 10 a.m. for a refreshing hike as we explore the white, blue, and green loop at Huntington State Park near Redding, Connecticut. This 4.5-mile loop trail is generally considered an easy route, taking an average of 1 hour and 41 minutes to complete. Please allow extra time just in case we move at a slower pace.
The trail is mostly wooded, passing by South Pond and Huntington Pond, with some large boulders and a few gentle hills, but nothing too steep. As we approach 2025, it’s a great time to reflect on the past year and set some intentions for the new one. While goal-setting exercises are optional, everyone is welcome to participate in this reflective practice or simply enjoy the hike.
We’ll set our pace to match the slowest hiker (probably me!). Our aim is to connect with nature, boost our confidence, build fitness, and create meaningful connections.
Meeting Point: We’ll meet at 10 a.m. sharp at Collis P. Huntington State Park, 9 Dodgingtown Rd, Redding, CT 06896, and plan to head out by 10:10 a.m.
What to Bring: A wise friend once told me, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing!” So, please dress accordingly and bring the following essentials:

* Hiking shoes
* Tick spray/bug repellent
* Microspikes
* Food, snacks, and water
* Jacket, gloves, and hat
* Extra clothing (rain gear, extra socks)
* Whistle
* Tissues
* Medical insurance card
* Photo ID

COVID Guidelines: Please bring a mask. We don’t need to wear them outside, but it’s always good to have one on hand.
Pets: Friendly dogs on leashes are welcome! Feel free to bring your furry friend; I’ll likely bring Lucy, my joyful trail buddy who loves to lead the way.
Most Importantly: Bring your positive energy and a good attitude! We all need a chance to unwind and enjoy nature. I have one rule for hiking: "No complaining until we’re done!" By the end, I usually feel so great that there’s nothing to complain about. Let’s all try to embrace that same spirit!
