As 2025 wraps up, we're sharing the end-of-year reflection process we use with clients: reflect, connect, commit. Most people rush straight to "what went wrong and what do I need to fix?" but they're missing the most valuable bit - understanding what's actually working so you can do more of it. We walk through the specific questions that help you figure out what energises you, what drains you, and what you've been putting up with that needs to stop.

We get personal about our own year, including what's surprised us, what's taken off (Pam's LinkedIn success story is worth a listen), and the parts of our work that genuinely light us up. Plus, we tackle the uncomfortable question about boundaries that most people avoid

Key points from this episode

1. Why people learn more from their successes than their failures (but rarely do it)
2. The specific reflection questions that reveal what's actually working in your career
3. How to identify what energises you vs what makes you want to fake a WiFi issue
4. The confronting question about boundaries: what you've tolerated that you shouldn't
5. Using the "reflect, connect, commit" framework to create actual change, not just New Year optimism
