The H2 Leadership Podcast Finish Strong, Start Clear: A Practical Framework to Prepare Your Leadership for 2026
Merry Christmas!!!!! This episode is Part 2 of our year-end series. Last week, we walked through the internal shifts our team made this year. Today, we hand that same framework to you — so you can reset, simplify, and refocus your leadership as you prepare for 2026.
This conversation is a practical guide to finishing well, regaining clarity, and building momentum without burning out or carrying unnecessary weight into the new year.
You’ll learn:
-
Why real momentum begins with subtraction, pruning, and clarity — not doing more
-
How to create simple decision filters so every choice doesn’t drain your energy
-
The “dance floor vs. balcony” mindset — working on your leadership, not just inside the grind
-
Why mature leaders practice necessary endings instead of clinging to what used to work
-
How clarity leads to freedom, focus, and healthier impact
Use these reflection prompts as you reset for 2026:
-
What is slowing you down right now?
-
What is one change that would increase your momentum heading into 2026?
-
What are you too close to that someone else should carry or share?
-
When you zoom out, what becomes clear about what must stay, shift, or end?
Give yourself at least an hour (two is better) to look back honestly — and aim your energy intentionally toward the year ahead. The real currency of leadership isn’t time… it’s energy.
