🎄 A holiday poem for all the humans...

'Twas the year at
'this human, and all thanks to you...
​

Together we’ve grown, and achieved so much too.
Your trust and your passion, your love and your care,
As you’ve fostered connections and become more aware.

You joined in our workshops, with courage and might,
Sharing your brilliance, and bold inner light.
You embraced all the frameworks, and experiments too,
Giving depth to our sessions, inspiring and true.

The activities thrived because you took part,
With intelligence, play, and a strong, open heart.
Through HCD lessons and teamwork you led,
Making ideas soar, like wings newly spread.

In newsletters we wrote, it was your voice we heard,
In stories, and insights, and every kind word.
The content we shared was to provoke and propel,
Your endeavours in life, and help you excel.

So thank you, dear clients, community, and friends,
For the energy and effort you generously send.
As the year reaches close, we look forward to more,
There’s a bigger, brighter, bolder 2025 in store.

Happy holidays to you, with a warm, heartfelt cheer,
You’re the reason we exist year after year.
And to finish this rhyme we would be remiss,
If we didn’t say, just one more time…

YOU’VE GOT THIS!!!

Love,

PS. We'll be taking a break over the holidays and will be back on deck in early Feb. Go well. xo

What if leadership wasn’t about control, but about connection—starting with yourself? We've all read the traditional leadership books. They focus on external strategies—processes, hierarchies, efficiency. Thanks (but no thanks) old white guys. 😉 True leadership, what we call deep leadership, begins from within. It’s about integrating all aspects of yourself—your beliefs, emotions, imagination, and attention—so that your leadership is grounded, authentic, and transformative. What is deep...

Are you getting the most out of your mornings? Are you part of the 5am club, bouncing out of bed, off for a run, a healthy breakfast, then smashing out a few chapters of your memoir, all before 8am? (me neither ;-) Or perhaps you immediately reach for your phone and dive straight into your workday and the art of being a busy person. Or maybe you're non-existent until that first hit of caffeine floods your system. How you do your mornings can significantly impact how the rest of your day...
