Leaders, your tone of voice, the words you say, and the words you left unsaid brings life or engagement to the people you most want to influence.

Think differently about what you say. how you say it and what is best left unsaid.

Notice.
Name.
Choose wisely, intentionally and consistently well.

Begin doing what you want to do now.

Begin being who you want to be now.

Why wait?

Lead yourself well.

If it was December 31, 2025 - what would you look back on this year and hope to have have experienced?

Time to be present to what you want more of, noticing what the 'more of' is about...(?)

Be curious.
Is it externals?
Is it stuff?
Is it in your control and agency?
How important is it to you?
How does it add meaningful satisfaction to 'who you are'?
Why does it matter?
Who will go with you?
How will you get there?

Lead yourself well.

Sometimes we default to thinking that what we have isn't good enough. If only we did this, had this, achieved this, etc.

Sometimes we truly lack something truly important that is irreconcilable - a person, a dream, health, a passion, a hoped-for future.

I'm a strong advocate for the process of grief, loss and mourning.

Simultaneously in myself, I notice that I can lack appreciate for what is not yet lost, and what presently simultaneously still exists - people, dreams, passions, health and possibilities of a hoped-for future.

Both / And. It all belongs.

Life and work may not be a perfect four-leaf clover, but it can still be beautiful.

Lead yourself well.
