I begin my year in February because during the holidays there is never enough time to do a good job reviewing performance for the past year and setting objectives for the next year. I work with a coach, someone who is a friend for whom I have a great deal of respect, and who will play an active role in the process. Last year, Mark Walther was my coach; this year Joe Broussard is working with me. Thank you both for your support and invaluable feedback.
