Most of us start the New Year hoping to be better versions of ourselves.

Our work lives, especially, are an easily quantified place to improve: We're rewarded for jobs well done in promotions or raises, and given formal reviews.

But what about the more vague aspects of your career—like why you're always showing up exhausted, or can't seem to focus deeply on what's most fulfilling? In the last year, we've tried to get to the bottom of those areas for improvement, too. The interpersonal soft-skills and self-care are what make the more tangible successes shine.
