63. Setting A New Year “Partnership Theme”

In episode 63 of “The Art of We Podcast”, hosts Krista and Dr. Will Van Derveer invite listeners to set a theme for their partnership this new year. Their second year creating a theme, they share the power behind a mutually agreed upon, fully aligned, “North Star” that’s different than goal setting but that sets the stage for the quality of life their “We” most needs in the coming year. 

You’ll hear how Krista and Dr. Will came up with their partnership theme for the year as well as how they plan to implement it. Unlike individual intentions, when we can look to see what the “We” of us needs – that which includes but transcends both individuals – a lot more comes into focus including new opportunities for creating a healthy, vibrant and potent partnership. 

In addition to setting a theme, the hosts share their #1 “if you do anything together this year, do this!” action item for all types of partnerships. Please enjoy and thank you for being part of "The Art of We" community. Wishing you joy, growth, and meaningful connections in the upcoming year!
