We wish you all a delightful and successful New Year!!! 🎉 Comment your New Year resolutions down below!

Ending 2024 on a positive and meaningful note can involve a mix of reflection, celebration, and setting intentions for the future. Here are some ideas to help you wrap up the year in the best way:

Happy New Year 2025 to our beloved family, friends, colleagues, and all who share this world with the 4 H's! Amen. As we step into this new year, let us embrace a holistic approach to humanity, integrating the development of four key attributes: 1. Heads: Intellectual growth and critical thinking. 2. Hearts: Emotional intelligence and empathy. 3. Hands: Practical skills and hands-on experience. 4. Healths: Physical and mental well-being. This combination emphasizes nurturing the whole person, ensuring that we address cognitive, emotional, practical, and health-related aspects. By doing so, we prepare ourselves to face real-world challenges, fostering not only academic or technical skills but also personal growth and resilience. This comprehensive approach is essential for our lives in the year ahead.

Happy New Year to everyone. Let us start this year with good hopes and optimism. My new article describes the value of hope and optimism for the well being. https://lnkd.in/dRg8DkaF

COMING HOME to the Rhythm of YOU! As we enter into the final season of 2024, I invite you to set some intentionality and decide how you wish to close this year in a good way. PULL ON THE THREAD of your life experience and reconnect with the pieces of yourself that wanted fuller expression as the year began ~ your creativity, physicality, prosperity, and purpose. 🌽 OCTOBER is a month of teaching, co-learning, and sharing, starting today with my Indigenous mentor, teacher, and friend as we hold circle with a provincial organization. Healing happens one intentional circle at a time. 🌽OCTOBER is a month of harvest, fruition, completion, gratitude. October is a month of returning home to my home territory where I'll have the opportunity to connect, share, and co-learn with women of my Nation. 🌽 OCTOBER is a month where I'll support a container and co-create an experience that works towards shifting a narrative from 'climate crisis' to 'climate resiliency'. 🌽 OCTOBER is a month where I begin to hold circle to build relationships and co-learning between Indigenous founders & entrepreneurs and those who want to work towards shifting more private capital into their work in a way that matches their rhythm and needs. 🌽 OCTOBER is a month when we begin to work on a short film in partnership with a foundation that partners with incredible Indigenous groups to promote peer-to-peer learning and empower individuals, both locally and globally. 🌽 OCTOBER is a month where we have the honour of celebrating Indigenous Innovators and amplifying their impact in the world. 🌽 OCTOBER is a month where I will hold circle, an Impact Visioning Circle, with a group of regional economic development professionals who are ready to embody MORE of what's possible in a good way and build more cohesion and clarity to execute most effectively on what matters most. 🌽 HOW are you stepping into this month and this quarter? 🌽 WHO do you intend to BE throughout the next 90 days that brings this year to an intentional close? 🌽 WHAT might be possible that is just beyond your periphery at this time? 🌽 WHEN are you prioritizing to take action on the things you SAY are important to you? 🌽 WHERE will you be by the end of 2024, and what will you be celebrating. I'll celebrate with you!

Happy New Year to all our partners (current as well as new), to my colleagues and friends also here on LinkedIn. I am looking forward to continuing our great conversations about how to support you and your leaders in becoming the best version of themselves. We know that sustainability and AI are prioritized topics for most organisations. But without leaders using their ability in being intuitive, creative, working with continuous improvement, using listening skills to give great feedback, being able to work with polarities and not the least being emotionally strong and resilient with a clear focus on developing people, we will never evolve and make the most out of being human and create a better world. 2025 will be another transformational year - with many new strategies to be put into action. Developing the behaviours needed for senior leaders is exactly what we do best and our continued conversations and actions will prove that.

As an HR executive, excellence is not about achieving perfection; it’s about fostering a mindset of continuous growth and commitment to our mission and vision. It’s about taking bold, decisive actions—even when they’re imperfect. This perspective reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt's quote about the man in the arena—someone who dares greatly and strives valiantly. In my role, excellence means creating an environment where our employees are not only empowered but inspired to take initiative, make impactful decisions, and continuously learn and evolve. It’s about championing a culture of resilience, innovation, and relentless pursuit of improvement. We embody excellence by: • Providing comprehensive opportunities for professional development and career advancement. • Encouraging transparent communication and a feedback-rich environment to drive innovation. • Celebrating the achievements and contributions of our team members, recognizing their efforts in pushing boundaries and setting new standards. Excellence is a journey of daring greatly, taking informed risks, and turning challenges into opportunities. It’s about showing up every day with ambition and dedication, knowing that our collective efforts elevate the quality of care we provide and propel our organization forward. What does excellence mean to you in your role? How do you pursue and embody excellence in your daily work? I’d love to hear your insights and experiences. #MissionMotivated #ManInTheArena #ExcellenceNotPerfection #GrandTraversePavilions

This month offers a unique opportunity to pause, reflect on our journey so far, and realign with our goals. Let September be the month where we • check in with ourselves, • celebrate the progress we've made, and • thoughtfully adjust our sails for the final quarter. It’s not about rushing to the finish line but about ensuring that each step we take is intentional and meaningful. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘚𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳?
