Our 2014 Active Achievements and 2015 Active Goals
Last year we got our team to share what we achieved in 2013 and what our active goals were for 2014.
It was a great way for us to put ourselves in the position of our clients and take stock of our achievements, and make sure we continue to challenge ourselves.
The time has come to look back on what we ticked off our 2014 list, and to start planning for 2015!
If you’re not sure what to tackle in the New Year, perhaps our lists will inspire you. We are also sharing summaries of each person’s achievements and goals on our Facebook Page, and Instagram and Twitter using the #FCAT2015ActiveGoals hashtag.
You can also check out all the songs that motivate us on this playlist on our YouTube channel.
Feel free to share yours with us there and tag your goals, motivation and/or inspiration!
