As we began our descent from my recent rejuvenating vacation, the pilot's voice broke the quiet hum of the cabin: "𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘥𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳. 𝘚𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵." 2024 was a flight like no other—unexpected turns, ambiguous skies, yet moments that made me sit back and cherish the ride. It was a year of surrendering to uncertainty, leaning into discomfort, anchoring within and embracing the lessons along the way. As we step into 2025, here’s what I’m choosing to be intentional about the path ahead. </ Nurturing curiosity—about the world around me and the one within. </ Remembering that while the year can race ahead, I can choose to slow down. </ Creating impact through coaching and therapy, beyond titles or institutions. </ Reading voraciously, writing wholeheartedly, and traveling like a nomad. </ Laughing freely, expressing openly and forgiving easily. </ Prioritizing healthy living and setting healthy boundaries. </ Staying open to possibilities while making space for moments with no agenda. </ Investing effort in relationships—being there for those who truly matter. </ Upskilling, reflecting, and creating a ripple effect of impact. </ Giving life a chance, and having faith while surrendering to its flow. This year, I’m also being intentional about 'no-agenda connections' —just stories, ideas, and a shared cup of chai. Let’s make that happen. What’s on your list for 2025? I’d love to hear how you plan to navigate your year. May the year ahead be filled with laughter, learning, and those breathtaking sunsets that remind us of life’s quiet beauty (Sri Lanka offers some of the best, by the way!). Wishing you fabulous 2025!

As with the future, it rarely unfolds as planned. We approach it with engaging visions and brilliant ideas, filled with excitement, yet, like the seasons, life's circumstances are constantly shifting. On Friday, snow returned to Helsinki, disrupting our narratives of springtime renewal. This often-demanding season promises growth but comes loaded with setbacks, such as unexpected snowfalls that forced us to rethink our weekend plans, from garden setups to revisiting our winter wardrobes. Each season brings its own narrative, and spring particularly heightens our mood swings with its unpredictability. How do we adjust when our expectations are u-pended? This process reflects the broader practice of futures thinking, where envisioning potential paths helps prepare us for real-time adaptations. Reflecting on our internal narratives is crucial; it allows us to reframe setbacks as natural and expected parts of life’s cycle, thus keeping our 'inner spring' alive and resilient. It’s vital to learn to maintain a narrative that accommodates constant change, viewing each disruption not as an obstacle but as a vital part of our personal and collective growth. How do you reinterpret your expectations to sustain your inner spring amidst life's unpredictable weather? Vivian White Oy #futures #sensemaking #innernarratives

Preparing for Your Holiday. When we set a date for our next holiday, the experience begins right then and there. It starts with our intention and commitment. We jump online to research flights, trains, car rentals, tours, and hotels. During this stage, we’re already emotionally invested in our holiday. Mentally and emotionally, we start to experience the joy and excitement of our trip long before our physical journey begins. We’re laying the foundation to ensure a memorable holiday. The more effort we put into planning, the better the experience, right? Holidays are essential for rest, relaxation, reflection, and building deeper bonds with loved ones. That’s why we dedicate so much time, energy, focus, and resources to make them perfect. Now, here are two questions to consider: ✨ How important are your professional and personal goals to you and your family? ✨ How much planning will you invest to ensure 2025 is your best year yet, for your career and your loved ones? When we plan for our holidays, we ALWAYS have them. Start planning now for success in all areas of life in 2025!

After a whirlwind holiday season, I’m kicking off 2025 with a mix of gratitude, reflection, and excitement for what lies ahead. I was lucky enough to hit pause and reset in Mexico—soaking up the sun, the beach, and some amazing food. It was the perfect backdrop for unwinding, but let’s be honest, you always come back wishing for just a little more time. That feeling really hit me this year—how the balance between rest and hustle is so tricky to get just right. In the travel industry, where things rarely slow down, it’s easy to forget that taking intentional time to recharge isn’t just a luxury; it’s essential. As I step into 2025, my focus is on finding ways to sustain that balance—not just for a week on a beach, but every day, wherever I am. To my LinkedIn network: How do you make space for rest and recharge in an industry (or life!) that never stops moving? Any pro tips for staying grounded or squeezing the most out of those moments of stillness? Here’s to a year of growth, adventure, and finding more ways to take care of ourselves in between all the chaos. Cheers to 2025 and all it has in store for us! #NewYear #TravelIndustry #WorkLifeBalance #GrowthMindset #TravelReset Elite Travel Management

YOUR FIRST QUARTER GAME-CHANGER: TRAVEL WITH ME Let me guess: You started 2024 with big plans, right? THIS was going to be your year! But here’s the thing—most people hit March and realize they’re exactly where they were last year. Here’s how you make sure that doesn’t happen in 2025: Travel With Me. This isn’t a vacation—it’s a three-day, fully curated, life-altering experience where we tackle what matters most to you: ✔️ Writing that book you’ve been “thinking about” for years ✔️ Mapping out your next quarter or entire year for massive growth ✔️ Aligning your life and work with your core values (because burnout isn’t a strategy) While we’re doing this deep, transformative work, we’ll also: ✨ Eat at world-class restaurants (I know where the chefs hide the good stuff) ✨ Catch incredible shows (Broadway, The Sphere, or whatever lights you up) ✨ Explore inspiring, iconic cities like NYC, Las Vegas, or Chicago This isn’t just a “coaching session.” It’s a full-immersion experience. Imagine leaving with not only a clear plan but also memories that make you feel alive. Here’s the kicker: If you sign up for Q1 2025, I’m throwing in a personalized follow-up plan to make sure you ACTUALLY execute what we build together. That’s me in your corner for an additional month, keeping you accountable and on track. Spots are limited because this is high-touch, high-impact, and tailored just for you. Don’t wait until March wondering why you’re still stuck when you could already be in motion. DM me now to book your spot. Let’s make 2025 the year you finally said yes to leveling up—and had the time of your life doing it.
