For me, the finish line is now in sight. Today, at noon I facilitate my last event of 2025. And then, a few days of paperwork. And then, I rest. But first, I give thanks for the many communities, organizations, corporations and businesses I had the chance to work with. And I give special thanks for the amazing people I got to interact with, including every person I have ever exchanged words with here in Inspiring Speakers. I joined this network in November of 2024 and it remains one of the best decisions I ever made. @Drew Brania @David Corsini ... thank you for all you do for all of us. Happy holidays everyone!

The response to the win/moonshot thread was insane — thanks to everyone who jumped in. Time for part two. Complete this in one sentence: 2025 taught me ____. In 2026, I’m ready to _____. Example: 2025 taught me consistency beats intensity. In 2026, I’m ready to scale without burning out. Your turn — what's your?
