It’s that time of year where I find myself considering anew my own practices related to perspective, well-being, and others. I try to recommit to that which is going well and supports my health, while discerning away from activities or situations which push me in the opposite direction. And so in recent weeks, I’ve enjoyed long hikes, time on the beach, and time with my family. In returning to work this week I am grateful for trusted colleagues and the intrinsic joy of community.
Today I share just a few insights from an article I recently read, every new beginning comes from another’s end. I hope you enjoy these recommendations. Blessings on your week ahead!
practical leadership insights
- Make space for the new
Leaders often carry the weight of legacy projects or outdated processes. Ask yourself: what do I need to release so I can move forward? - Celebrate the ending
When a chapter closes, take time to reflect on what it taught you. Ritualizing this moment helps you honor the past without getting stuck in it. - Stay adaptable
Change is rarely clean or simple. Be ready to pivot when needed. Like Seneca, understand that even contradiction can lead to clarity. - Lead by example
Your team watches how you handle transitions. Show them that endings are natural—and that they bring opportunities for growth.
