Wrapping Up 2024 and Stepping into 2025

You'd rather watch the episode immediately -?go to YouTube.?

This week is special. Not only are we?wrapping up 2024 together. Today, I'm also releasing the 50th episode of the Lead Well! podcast. I must admit, at the beginning of the year, I was not really believing I would make it that far. Because, let's be honest, I have started many other things and just stopped after a few iterations. And it’s all because of you. Thank you for tuning in, sharing your feedback and thoughts, and being part of this journey.

Since it’s New Year’s Eve, let’s do a little reflecting and dreaming together. Think back on 2024 for a moment. You know I love questions, so let me ask three questions to you:?

1. What moment made you feel truly alive this year? That one second (or maybe several) where time stopped, and you just?were. Maybe it was a quiet walk in nature, laughing with someone you love, or connecting with your pet. For me, it was those peaceful moments with Maggie, my horse. What about you?
2. What challenge really tested you? What did it teach you? Even if it felt like a mountain at the time, could you see it now as something that shaped you? Think about what you learned or how it made you act differently.?
3. What memory from 2024 would you frame? Maybe it’s a mental frame or an actual picture. If you’re into NeuroGraphica like me, you could even create something visual to capture it. What memory deserves that special spot?

And now—on to 2025. What’s important to you? What are your top three values—the things that truly matter? Once you know those, think about your strengths. What comes so naturally to you that it feels easy? That’s probably a superpower you’re overlooking.

With your values and strengths in mind, set one goal. Something that aligns with who you are and what you care about. Big or small, it doesn’t matter. Then just take one step, and then another.

My goal? To keep showing up for you and hit 100 episodes next year. If you’d like to help, share this podcast with a friend. It’d mean the world to me.

Here’s to a brilliant 2025! You’ve got this.

All the best, Christine
