With end of 2015 nigh, I have decided to share a couple of thoughts which you can add to your own as you close out 2015 and prepare for 2016. Here are some nuggets.
Some recommendations
- Focus on the wins, the things you did right and celebrate them.
- Leave regrets behind, replace them with new goals.
- Identify habits were you developed that served you well.
- Thank personally all those who made the most impact on your professional life.
- Be honest about challenges you faced, particularly those you overcame.
Key questions to reflect on
- What are you grateful for in 2015?
- In what way are you better than you were 12 months ago?
- In what ways did you intentionally go out of your comfort zone?
- What did you enjoy most in your professional life?
- How many books did you read?
- Who benefited from your generosity?
- What did you find most challenging?
- What were the best pieces of advice you got and used?

- Don’t allow yourself to be reduced by any challenging times.
- Always start with the ideal outcome and make adjustments along the way.
- Aim high, lead yourself well, eliminate the non-essentials and contribute your best
