How are you going to do this?
One of the first things you can do is sit down on your own and tease out your understanding of who you are. What I mean by this is, in terms of identifying your strengths, you could look at what you are good at, look at what you are motivated by, look at what you are passionate about. Examine, for yourself, what you would do for free (if you could and still live a great life).
So here's the deal - I want you to complete these statements (and where appropriate make as long a list as you can - you are then able to have lots of choice)....
I am good at, and enjoy ...
The thing I am most passionate about in my life is...
My nearest and dearest tell me I am good at...
I am motivated by...
I feel excited by...
The thing I would do for free is...
When I was a child I was really excited, motivated, passionate about...
My current hobbies are...
My manager tells me I am good at...

The areas I am least efficient in (and know I need to get better at) are...
The benefits I will get from developing the above are...
I will build this skill set and knowledge base in the following ways...
Commitments
These are actions you are committing to in order to take your life to the next level in the next year.
I am committed to doing...
I am committed to being...
