Your 2022 Word Of The Year: How to Pick Something That Resonates With and Guides You Over The Next 12 Months

As we near the start of a new year, many of us have begun thinking about what we want to achieve over the next 12 months, and for some, picking a ‘word of the year’ is their first port of call.
