Transitions #1774

by Sue Hawkes

Transitions. For most of us, they are challenging. Challenging in the best and worst sense of the word.   Challenging us to become who we need to be, while letting go of who we currently know ourselves as.  Challenging because in doing so, we must let go of the predictable and familiar. Comfort resides here.  Adventure and excitement live outside your comfort zone. Growth…

The Key to Winning #1772

by Sue Hawkes

Consistency. It’s elusive to many of us.  When learning, it’s the deal maker.  When seeking mastery, it separates those who excel from those who don’t.  In any situation where you seek to deliver excellence, from cooking to performing, doing your work to playing sports, learning an instrument or a new language, art, leadership or any other venture – it requires consistency.  Without it, you will find reasons NOT to…

An Alternative to Resolutions #1770

by Sue Hawkes

Only 9.2 percent of people ever achieve their New Year’s resolutions and break free from their bad habits. So why do so many people continue to overload their worlds with new commitments when the calendar changes each year, only to reinforce what doesn’t work? Let’s start with timing. The right time to set your resolution is the time that you’ll…

Welcoming 2026 #1769

by Sue Hawkes

Happy New Year! For some, this season is full of resolutions, new beginnings, possibility, and the frenzy of getting back to work after the holiday break. For others, it’s something else entirely. For me, there were several years when the New Year was a time of grieving, somber moments, and reflection. It was winter inside and out. It was challenging…

Pause and Reflect #1768

by Sue Hawkes

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…

Take a Break #1766

by Sue Hawkes

In my travels and work this time of year I have the honor of working with leaders to improve their team health. Let’s just say 2025 has been a doozy.  As you make the time to take a break over the end of year, please do exactly that: take a break.  We’re tired. Not just some of us, all of us.  Too many are real,…

Your Gifts #1765

by Sue Hawkes

What are your gifts from 2025?  When you consider the challenges, wins, ups and downs of this year, what’s been most impactful for you in business, as a leader, and in your life?  When I think about this question amidst the holidays, I have quick top of mind answers. They don’t serve me in truly reflecting about what’s significant or what’s possible.   This question is a worthy contender for the week between…
