Christmas gratitude - reflecting on 2025...
2025 has certainly been a roller-coaster of a ride for many of us – but as my soon to be 24yo son reminded me this morning…we’re still here! Stronger, wiser, a little changed - so bring on 2026. In reviewing the year I #pauseforreflection around what has sustained me, how have I changed and what really matters? Questions we can all ask of ourselves as one reflects on life journeys. . For some of us we have lost dear ones so change is beyond our control, deep within us and very permanent. In other circumstances such as health matters, disruption to regular lifestyle, work and routines due to any number of circumstances also often out of our control -unforeseen and really not planned for - the impact can be punishing.
So I ask – how are you approaching the next few weeks ahead of the Christmas break? Is it with grace, patience and love or are you cracking the whip, ensuring that you and those around you carry on as ‘normal’. Where is your energy going and are you focusing on the things that matter?
In my last newsletter I wrote about the power that leaders have : if you have the power to influence, this is the time to push back, ask for reasonable time-frames etc….things can often wait until mid-January when the wheels start cranking up again for the year ahead. In my experience not much is ever that urgent – we just think it is. It may warrant turning urgency and justification into curiosity and wonder!
For those who have worked with me in the coaching space this year, I thank you for sharing your journey with me. I thank all of you who have supported me. The greatest gift in my life are the people in it. I have learned something from each and every one of you and I am grateful that you are in my life.
I wish you all a beautiful Christmas – one with filled with love, joy and all the things that make your heart sing. May you have many long relaxing summer evenings surrounded by those you love. And may 2026 be filled with the things that nourish your soul.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
As ever, the challenge - To truly understand that what we give out eventually comes back to us.
Until next time….Keep Shining,
With love and best wishes

Coaching can help you become a better leader – it creates space for you to reflect and consider your behaviours, your environment, your values and your objectives. It can help to ground you and live and work more competently and with more intention, kindness and compassion.

I am the Principal of Wisdom in One. I have been working with and Coach-Mentoring Leaders for over 25 years. At Wisdom in One, our commitment is to a practical and holistic approach to achieving life balance for the mind, body, heart and soul; ensuring we take care of ourselves, each other and the world in order to create a better future for our children.
I not only believe but know that LEADERSHIP IS A RESPONSIBILITY AND IT IS SACRED.
By looking at and developing awareness about how we live, lead and work, we can create a powerful sense of 'knowing' and consciousness about what impact we have on our own lives, our health, others around us and our environment. By tapping into this wisdom, we can grow, change and live a fuller, richer life and make positive and enlightened contributions. Leaders have real-time impact on a community’s stability, sustainability and collective wellbeing. Therefore Leaders have a responsibility to their own wellbeing.
The challenge - To truly understand that what we give out eventually comes back to us.
