For many of us, the turn of a new year represents not just a change in the calendar but an opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been and where we might like to go next. And while new year’s resolutions aren’t exactly our thing, we asked IDC TA providers and staff to share with us either a word or brief phrase that they’re keeping close to their minds and hearts as they look forward to a season of renewal and possibility.
