You don’t become a better leader just because the calendar flips.
You become a better leader when you tell the truth about what happened, reflect, and choose what you’ll carry forward.
Before you sprint into 2026, take a few minutes to reflect on 2025 with honesty and intention. These are the questions I’ll be using – enjoy and happy new year!
- What am I most proud of this past year?
- What new thoughts, behaviors and habits have I begun?
- What was surprising to me?
- What am I most excited about?
- Where do I need to dedicate more time?
- What was most meaningful this year?
- Where did I challenge myself?
- How did I define my success this year?
- Where did I grow?
- What did I learn?
- Who impacted me most?
- How did I serve others?
- What relationships changed?
- What did I add?
- What did I eliminate?
