Hi Friend
What do you want to be different in your career by the end of 2027?
Not your team's targets. Not the objectives your company needs you to deliver.
You.
What do you want to be better at? What responsibility do you want to be trusted with? What work do you want to be doing that you aren't doing today?
As year-end reviews and planning conversations approach, it's easy to skip those questions. You look at last year's goals, change a few words, add a course, and call it a development plan.
“Become more strategic.” “Strengthen my leadership skills.” “Build my executive presence.”
They sound reasonable. But what will you actually do in January? Who will give you useful feedback? What would count as progress by March?
If your plan can't answer those questions, it needs more work.
I built Ownit to give you a better starting point.
Ownit is a free AI planning tool that turns your answers about your role, your challenges, and your ambitions into a specific career development plan.

It asks about your situation before suggesting actions. Your level. Your function. The feedback you've received. The gaps you need to close.
There are two options, depending on what 2027 looks like for you.
Staying in your current role and ready to grow?
Build a 12-month development plan using the 70-20-10 framework: stretch experiences, relationships and feedback, and deliberate learning.
The point isn't to fill your calendar with courses. It's to identify work that will stretch you, people who can help you improve, and learning that supports both.
Starting a new role?
Build a 90-day new role plan around what you need to learn, who you need to understand, and what you need to prove. It breaks your first three months into clear phases so you can arrive with more than good intentions.
Give it 10 minutes before you write your 2027 goals.
There's no account to create, and both plans are free. You'll enter your email to receive your plan, followed by a short series of notes from me over six weeks to help you put it into action. You can unsubscribe anytime.
AI won't know every detail of your workplace. Treat the output as a starting point to question, refine, and discuss with your manager or someone whose judgment you trust.
You don't need to accept every suggestion. You do need to decide what your development should look like, rather than leaving that decision to a template.

Don't wait until someone asks you to submit your goals. Give yourself time to choose the experiences, conversations, and challenges that could make next year different.
