As 2024 year comes to a close and Santa is resting at the North Pole, I’ve been reflecting on the incredible journey we’ve had this year at The Brave Venture. Every program, every initiative, and every impact story has been made possible by our passionate team and the incredible communities we work with. To Bronwyn Rickard, Jen Scott, Mike Creed, Stephen Kelly, Hamish O'Brien, Vicki Stewart, Carlyn Smith, Matthew Conger, Shane O'Brien, Andrew Stewart and Sarah Ellison, thank you for your hard work, creativity, dedication and belief. You inspire me every single day. Gratitude isn’t just a value we live by, it’s something we actively teach our students. We show them how practising gratitude opens doors, fosters meaningful connections, and builds trust. Gratitude is more than a mindset; it’s a skill that empowers young entrepreneurs and future leaders to recognise the contributions of others, celebrate collective success, and create deeper, more meaningful relationships. Our team at TBV believe that gratitude fuels innovation and collaboration. It turns a good idea into a great one because you can achieve extraordinary things when you truly appreciate your team and resources. Gratitude also helps us and our students stay grounded. It reminds us that even in the toughest moments, there’s always something to be thankful for, and from that place of appreciation comes resilience and optimism. Most of us are on our much-needed Christmas break, which we undervalue here in New Zealand. With its wonderful people, this amazing place makes Christmas amazing, albeit different (Santa wears jandals, which is still weird to me!). So, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been part of our journey this year: our students, educators, partners, and supporters. Your belief in our mission inspires us to innovate, grow, and strive for impact. And here’s the exciting part - watch this space! We have some big news to share after the break, and I can’t wait to step into 2025 with all of you. Until then, enjoy this season of rest, connection, and, of course, gratitude. Roll on 2025! #Gratitude #TeachingFutureLeaders #Ripyl #ExcitingNews #MerryChristmas #SeeYouIn2025 #happynewyear #entreprenuership #innovation #edtech
