About this webinar

CEG’s Elevate 2026 webinar series kicks off with a topic that’s top of mind for many at the start of a new year: setting goals and taking action. The challenge most people run into isn’t a shortage of goals — it’s the gap between the goals on paper and how the day actually gets spent. Without a clear sense of what you value most, the urgent crowds out the important, and twelve months later the priorities that mattered most still haven’t moved.

In this highly interactive session, Christa Kirby walks through a process for identifying your values, setting and prioritizing goals against them, and allocating your time in a way that actually reflects your priorities. In short: managing yourself in relation to time, rather than the other way around.

What you’ll learn

Who (or what) drives your day? — recognize the invisible forces that quietly set your agenda, and how to take back the driver’s seat.

Defining values and setting goals — a process for identifying what actually matters to you and translating that into goals you’ll still care about in six months.

Identifying priorities — practical frameworks for separating the urgent from the important, and for knowing what to say “not now” to.

Time management tools and techniques — methods for allocating your time in a way that actually reflects what you said your priorities are.

Managing yourself in relation to time — the mindset shift from “I don’t have enough time” to “I choose how to spend what I have.”

Clarity and momentum for the year ahead — leave with a clearer picture of what you’re working toward and the first concrete steps to recommit to it.
