⭐️ Welcome back to work! ⭐️ It's autumn season. Still summer - but autumn season. The time for new beginnings. The time for restart. This is the season when we lift our eyes and start thinking about the next year and beyond. It’s the time for dreams. For strategy. For tactics. And next year’s operations. But wait… 👉 How many of you are rubbing your head and wondering how you’re gonna have the time for that when you need to get more current work done, focusing on the present? 👉 How many of you get stressed over planning for a workshop to set the direction for 2025 and end up participating in it only because you have to? Don’t worry - I got you. ✅ I create the structure for you so that you won’t have to waste valuable time on figuring out what questions that really are the most valuable to ask. ✅ I make sure to create an environment where everyone’s creativity can flourish - and where we can have fun at the same time. ✅ I even compile the outcomes for you and make sure you know exactly what to do next. So stay calm and leave the planning to me so that you can focus on the fun part: deciding upon your future. 💪 DM me for more info! 💫

Pause, reflect, and embrace the upcoming year with a fresh outlook! Gone are the days when we used to ask for New Year resolutions, as many of them never truly took flight. However, in my perspective, it’s always valuable to recalibrate. December serves as a time for reflection, both personally and professionally. It marks the end of the year, offering an opportunity to assess progress, celebrate accomplishments, and prepare for the year ahead. As we bid farewell to 2024, let's welcome the new year with hearts full of hope, positivity, and excitement for new beginnings and dreams! #simpleconcepts #quick6magicreminders 1.

The overwhelming optimism of the New Year is too much to handle. So much so that I feel there’s an intense pressure to leave the bad and embrace the good as soon as you enter the year. And if you don’t, it turns into self-disappointment and guilt in no time. I have literally been there so many times; it sucks. That’s why, this time, I’m doing something different. Instead of entering this New Year with full force, I’m entering with gentleness and a little planning. Meaning, I’m not working on my resolutions from Jan 1st, but I am starting now — a little early. Writing on LinkedIn is one very important habit I want to restart in 2025. Instead of doing that from Jan 1st, I’m starting now. It’ll (hopefully) help in 2 ways: 1. December is comparatively relaxed workwise. This free time will make it easy to integrate this new habit = reduced overwhelm. 2. If I start right now, that habit will be firmly established in my routine by the time it’s mid-Jan. Honestly, I don’t know how this will turn out. But I’m excited and (moderately) optimistic to see this in action. What’s your relation with New Year resolutions?

✨ Not into New Year’s resolutions? Same here! ✨ Let’s be real—traditional New Year Resolutions  like “lose 20 pounds” or “read 80 books” can feel super overwhelming. That’s why I don’t make resolutions and focus on the process instead. It’s all about enjoying the journey, not just obsessing over the results. In my latest post, I share why process-oriented resolutions (like “explore a fun physical activity” or “read two pages a day”) work so much better for people like me—and maybe for you too! If you’re curious about a more laid-back, flexible way to approach the new year, come check it out. Plus, I included a simple habit tracker to help you get started.

The year’s almost over, so it’s time for that moment: taking stock of everything you’ve achieved. But how do you reflect on a year’s worth of work? Of wins, and losses? What’s your method for celebrating the highs, surviving the lows, and appreciating the ride? Is it… 👏 The LinkedIn humblebrag round-up. You pull together stats, big wins, and standout projects, wrap them in a neat bow, and drop them in a post. “2024 – we did that!” ❤ The team kudos session. You gather the crew, crack open the snacks (and maybe the bubbly), and spend time sharing shoutouts and stories of the year’s best moments. 💡 The journal and reflection method. You dig into what worked, what didn’t, and where you grew. (Bonus points for any inspirational quotes and highlighter colours involved.) 😆 The scroll back through your calendar and cry-laugh. You see how wildly overbooked you were all year and realise, honestly, you’re a miracle worker for making it through. No matter the method, take a moment to appreciate the journey. Drop your reaction below and share how you like to wrap up the year!

I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions. I don’t think it’s particularly helpful or fun to resolve to do something. Where is the inspiration in that? Resolutions have become about as appealing as hammering your finger. I do believe, however, in new year’s intentions. I believe the new year is a good time to seek out some quiet and spend time reflecting, taking stock, and dreaming. In the rush of the year it can be hard to reach those inflection points and really ask ourselves: -How do I feel about what I have done this year? -Do I enjoy what I am doing?  -Are there new things I want to explore? -Are there projects/relationships/patterns I am ready to let go of?  -What does my ideal life look like, and what steps can I take this year to align with it? I have been doing a lot of reflecting over the last couple of weeks, as projects have finished and new projects have launched and I have some space to write, plan, rest, walk, catch up with people, and clean out my backlog of emails (unsubscribing never felt so good!). It’s the kind of reflection I think is best done offline. Its dividends will pay out over time and not overnight. I share a photo from one of those contemplative walks, of Mount Rainer from my hometown. What are your thoughts on New Year's intentions? Are they working for you? The other NYE tradition I swear by is diving into the Pacific Ocean - or any other other body of water - not for the faint of heart but absolutely inspiring!
