Quick question for the group…
Does the end of the year actually feel like a pause for you—or just the same chaos with tinsel on it?
Most leaders I work with hit December juggling:
- Year-end reviews and budgets
- “Next year” planning
- Wrapping projects
- Family, travel, and holiday expectations
Somehow we’re supposed to reflect, reset, and be strategic… while our calendars are screaming for mercy.
Here’s something I see over and over: Leaders don’t struggle to be strategic because they lack ideas. They struggle because there’s no space to think.
No space in the day. No space in the calendar. No space between work and home.
So we do what high performers do best—we think harder. And overthink. And stay busy. And wonder why nothing really changes.
The shift that actually works?Creating intentional space.
Not disappearing. Not checking out. Just enough separation for your brain to reset so clarity, creativity, and perspective can show up again.
I'm curious:
👉 As the year wraps up, where do you feel the lack of space the most—time, energy, focus, or boundaries?
👉 And what would creating even a little space look like for you right now?
