✨ Reflection, Learnings, and Gratitude: Closing 2024 with Success and Aspiration ✨ A year and five months ago, one of the most exciting and transformative challenges of my career began: leading DIAGEO's extraordinary Agricultural Planning team. Today, as we close 2024, I can’t help but feel grateful and proud of everything we have achieved together. I’m not someone who typically shares much on this platform, but this year deserves it. This journey has given me valuable lessons and sparked an inner drive to keep dreaming and striving for more. Before diving into the acknowledgments, I want to wish everyone a joyful holiday season. May this December be a time for reflection, self-discovery, and above all, gratitude. Now, to my team: THANK YOU! Thank you for trusting me to guide us toward our goals, for showing resilience through this intense process of transforming agave agriculture, and for being my greatest source of inspiration. Some of the lessons we’ve learned together this year: 1️⃣ Learning begins outside your comfort zone. From diving into a completely new industry for me (I had never worked with agave or tequila before!) to mastering new functions and processes, I’ve realized that real growth emerges in the most challenging moments. The journey may be painful at times, but it always transforms you. “Comfort is the enemy of progress.” 2️⃣ Believe in yourself and trust the process. The talent is there, the capabilities exist. The key is taking the leap, pushing ourselves, and trusting that consistency and commitment will take us far. “Self-confidence is the first secret of success.” 3️⃣ Make mistakes... but make them quickly. Yes, it sounds cliché, but it really works! And if you can make them “cheap,” even better. 😂 Every mistake is not only an opportunity to learn but also a way to discover new limits, challenge horizons, and uncover abilities we didn’t even know we had. I close this message with immense gratitude to my planning team. You are the engine behind every achievement, the soul of this transformation, and a constant inspiration to me. Thank you for facing every challenge, for the shared laughter, and for showing that together, we can achieve incredible things. Wishing you all happy holidays and a 2025 filled with new challenges and successes! 🎄✨

Hello December 1st 🌲 December 1st marks a transition—it is a day that bridges the end of one year with full of hope of a new year is just around the corner ❤️ It invites us to reflect on our past months offering an opportunity to celebrate our achievements, our wins (small or big), acknowledge the lessons we learned along the way and create or renew our goals for the future. This date is also a reminder for us to embrace, live and enjoy the moment and be grateful that we are given the chance to celebrate this very moment. December 1st carries its own uniqueness and significance depending on your circumstances at the moment. It’s a time to: • Reflect: What have you learned this year? What moments brought joy or growth? • Connect: How was your relationship to people around you? How did you nurture those relationships as the year ends? • Plan: What intentions, goals and aspirations will you carry into the new year? As the final month begins, let December 1st serve as a reminder: endings and beginnings often overlap, creating space for gratitude, reflection, and growth ❤️🙌🙏📿 Let’s welcome December 1st full of Hope, overflowing with gratitude and still taking actions to close the year in our own successful way ❤️

What were your top 30 achievements in 2024? 🎖️ In past years, I might have stopped after naming just 3–5 accomplishments that came to mind. However, this year, I celebrated 37 achievements throughout the year! 🥂 It’s important to not only acknowledge major successes but also celebrate smaller wins, like reaching milestones, overcoming obstacles, or completing tasks I had procrastinated on. At the beginning of 2024, I started a simple but effective habit: every time I achieved something, I stuck a small post-it note to the wall above my desk. This little trick had a significant impact. Over the year, I watched the list of post-its grow, and by the end of 2024, I had 37 notes on my wall—offering me a comprehensive view of my accomplishments. Looking back now, 2024 feels far less rushed. Celebrating each post-it gave me time to appreciate my progress, and seeing everything on paper reinforced just how much I achieved. I also made it a point to include personal accomplishments alongside professional ones, celebrating them equally. 🚀 This is definitely a habit I plan to continue. I wonder—how many post-its will be on my wall by the end of 2025?

The first week of the new year has come and gone. For many of us, it’s been about setting intentions, building momentum, and committing to a year of growth and success. But how do we make sure we keep it going? Here are a few reminders I’m focusing on: 1️⃣ Stick to the Process: Big goals require small, consistent actions. Focus on the steps, not just the destination. 2️⃣ Stay Adaptable: Plans might change, but the commitment to progress shouldn’t. Adjust where needed and keep moving forward. 3️⃣ Celebrate the Wins: Big or small, recognize what you’ve achieved this week and let that fuel your drive for next week. This week was the start of something great—but the true success lies in sustaining the effort week after week. Here’s to a year of consistency, growth, and intentional action. Let’s keep going! What’s one win or takeaway from your first week of 2025? Share it below—I’d love to celebrate with you! 🎉

As 2024 comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on how I finished this year… For me, it wasn’t about getting everything right or following a perfect plan. Far from it. This year was about building…Laying foundations for the future. It was about assembling the right teams, establishing solid processes, and creating space for growth. I allowed myself to make mistakes.. To take two steps back so I could eventually take three forward.. And while those moments of uncertainty weren’t always easy, they were necessary. Life doesn’t follow a straight path, and neither does growth. Finishing proud isn’t about flawless execution or immediate results. It’s about intention. • Intentionally choosing to focus on relationships and partnerships that matter. • Knowing that progress sometimes looks like planting seeds instead of harvesting them. Next year? That will be the moment to start seeing some of the results from this groundwork. As I look ahead, I’m taking with me the clarity that purpose outweighs perfection. I’m staying committed to building momentum—not just for the results but for the journey itself. Wishing you courage, growth, and clarity for the road ahead. Here’s to 2025! Happy new year 🎊🎈🎆

It’s the 20th day in 2025, how fast time flies🙌 How far have you come with those plans you set out on January 1st? Or maybe January 2nd? Have you hit the ground running, or are you still gearing up to start? ✓ If you've already started, you’re on your way, making progress step by step. ✓ If you're still working through last year's backlogs or haven't quite begun, that’s perfectly okay too. Life doesn’t always fit neatly into the calendar, and starting late is better than not starting at all. ✓ A friend here, I believe Emma U. insists that her new year starts in February 😂, and honestly, that’s a solid plan. ✓ Wherever you are in your journey, here’s a reminder: you’re doing great. There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline for growth or achievement. ✓ Cheers to those who have begun their climb, and cheers to those (we 😂) who are just finding their footing. The fact that we’ve made the decision to start, even if only in our minds, means we have the drive to keep going and the potential to get better every day. Keep pushing, keep believing, and keep moving, no pressure. Which team do you belong to? Team A: We started 1st January and we're 20 days strong today. Team B: We’re starting soon. Team C: Joy is coming 😂😂😂, so we're waiting for joy to arrive first.

🎉 Happy New Year 2025! Over the holidays, I took the time to unplug and enjoy precious moments with my family—a choice I’ll always value. 💙 While I haven’t finalized my 2025 goals yet, I’m gearing up to complete them in the coming days. Did you know? Studies show that people who set goals are 10x more likely to achieve success compared to those who don’t. And writing goals down? That increases the likelihood of achieving them by 42%! 📈 For me, goal setting isn’t just about the destination—it’s about creating focus, building momentum, and setting a clear direction. Here’s to a year of intentional action, personal growth, and shared achievements. Let’s make 2025 extraordinary! 🚀 What’s one big goal you’re aiming for this year? #HappyNewYear #2025 #GoalSetting #Success #GrowthMindset #mosaikPro #savee

It’s about progress, intention, and the small, consistent steps that add up over time. Let’s finish this year with purpose and enter the new year with momentum! https://lnkd.in/gi97Z5Cq
