INSIGHT

Value Over Activity

Value should be the primary focus of leadership, not activity or busyness.
If you can't quantify an achievement, you must qualify it clearly or it probably didn't happen.

ADVICE

Pick two achievements from 2025 that would genuinely belong on your CV and quantify them.
Articulate clearly what changed, why it mattered, and the result produced.

ADVICE

Stop Avoiding Tough Conversations

Identify the tough conversations you avoided and schedule them now rather than rationalize avoidance.
Stop letting standards erode by ignoring small issues that compound into larger failures.

You worked hard in 2025. The real question is whether any of it actually mattered.

Most leaders roll straight into a new year without ever stopping to review the last one properly.

They plan harder, set bigger goals, and hope things improve. That’s how you end up repeating the same mistakes with a fresh calendar.

In this episode, I walk you through a clear, no BS review of your leadership in 2025.

Not the highlight reel, the real story. Where you actually delivered value, where you stayed busy instead of effective, and where you quietly avoided the tough stuff you knew you should have dealt with.

You’ll be challenged to look at how you really performed under pressure, not how calm you looked on the outside, but what was happening internally when things got hard. I also dig into accountability, because standards don’t collapse overnight…they erode one missed conversation at a time.

From there, the focus shifts forward. You’ll learn how to set a single leadership theme for 2026 and define the one achievement that would genuinely change your career trajectory if you could put it on your CV at the end of the year.

This isn’t about motivation or feeling good heading into January. It’s about clarity, focus, and doing the work that actually counts!

If you want 2026 to be meaningfully different from 2025, lock in on this one.
