I’m not a New Year’s resolution kind of person. This is because I have not been able to keep resolutions, and each subsequent failure compounds my sense that This Is Just The Way It Is and I Will Always Shock People With How Unprofessional I Can Be. These are some past resolutions:

Lead with empathy.
Be a better person.
Go in with humble inquiry.
Stop talking to my parents about financial issues.
