In this introductory video, the presenter acknowledges that many professionals, especially women, set ambitious career goals at the start of the year but often lose momentum by September. She proposes a 30‑day September challenge—"30 Bold Questions"—delivered via daily videos and blog posts, designed to help viewers reset their career goals, confront obstacles, and actively shape their professional trajectory for the remainder of 2018 and into 2019. The speaker emphasizes personal agency, urging viewers to stop letting bosses or organizations dictate their potential and instead ask themselves probing questions about what they truly want, why they lack it, and what actions they’re willing to take. The video serves as the first installment, inviting the audience to join the daily challenge and begin a purposeful career reset.

Hi everyone, it's September and we're 9 months into the year. And I know at the beginning of the year everyone made these amazing plans of things they wanted to do with their career. In January we had all these great ideas, all this wonderful stuff, and we felt that if we made a plan, if we created a vision board, if we did all the things that would make us like feel great about our career, and we plotted a strategy for the entire 2018. Things would fall into place and everything would be amazing. The reality? It's 9 months later, and most of you made really bold plans in January and February, and by March you totally forgot why you made those plans, and by April and May life came in place, the stresses of your job, you completely forgot about building your career. By the time the summer rolled in, you know, the kids are out of school, complacency set in, and you really put your entire career goals on hold. So now we're in September, and September is one of those pivotal months. You're 3/4 of the way through the year. You may not be happy with where you are or what you're doing, but you know that you don't want to go into 2019 where you are right now. So I've created this 30-day challenge during the month of September, and what we're going to do is ask you really bold questions about your career, really bold questions about what you wanted to do, where you wanted to go, and challenge you to think about your career differently. Just because we're 9 months into the year doesn't mean that you can't course correct You can't make new and bold, um, focal points for where you want to go. I would ask you, especially for the women watching this program, to lift your head up from the desk you're sitting at, look out into the horizon, and start asking yourself some bold questions about your career. So for the next 30 days, I'm going to post a video every day. A blog article every day. I'm gonna ask you some bold questions. So the goal is 30 bold questions in 30 days to transform your career for the rest of 2018 and into 2019. There's no point of waiting until January to make new goals. We might as well start making that goal now. Use September as the month to reset your goals reset your career, think bigger, embolden yourself to say, what do I want from my career and why don't I have it now? What's stopping me from living the life that I want? What's stopping me from going after that promotion? What's stopping me from positioning myself to be a leader? Why am I resisting getting what I want? And if I've put my entire career on hold for the year, what should I be doing different at this point? So I ask you to join me on this journey, 30 Days, 30 Bold Questions to Manage Your Career Differently. Every day I'm going to challenge you to think out of the box, to raise the bar, because you know what? This is your career. You get to work on it, not anybody else. Your boss doesn't get to decide how far you could go. The organization you work for doesn't get to decide what position you're eligible to apply for. You get to decide what you want, when you want it, how you want it, and then it's up to you to go after it. So stay tuned, join me. This is video 1 of our career challenge. I'm so excited. I'm so excited to be a part of this with you, and I'm so glad that you've spent the time listening to my video. And I want to boldly ask you, what do you want from your career and why don't you have it now? What are you willing to do to have the career that you want? When you arrived at your company, you had a goal, you had a vision. When you started 2018, you had a goal, you had a vision. What I'm asking you to do is to spend the month of September resetting that goal, charting a new course, and taking your career to the next level. So thank you for listening and stay tuned for tomorrow's video. Thanks.
