The final month of 2025 is here — a moment that invites a choice.
Most people slow down, ease up, and drift into the new year.
But others…
They Will Rise
They will choose intention over inertia, momentum over comfort, and purpose over passivity.
They will sprint through the finish line while everyone else hits the brakes.
And that choice, made right now, can reshape the year ahead.
December is not a month to disappear.
It’s a month to stand out.
A month to stay visible, deepen relationships, and step into 2026 with clarity, confidence, and energy.
Here are ways to make this final stretch count:
1. Connect Boldly
Reach out. Schedule lunches and coffees. As many as possible. 😁
People remember who showed up when everyone else stepped back.
2. Have Meaningful Conversations
Set up daily Zoom calls with clients, partners, and connections around the country and the world. Reflect on the year, explore possibilities, and open doors that others won’t think to knock on until January.
3. Show up early with gratitude.
Send holiday cards and thoughtful gifts now, not when the mailbox is overflowing. Being first isn’t about timing; it’s about intention.
4. Share Value Generously
Send articles, insights, and ideas that help others grow. During a “slow season,” generosity becomes a spotlight.
5. Reflect with Honesty and Courage
Ask yourself:
- What did I do well?
- What needs improvement?
- What needs to evolve in 2026?
Self-awareness is the foundation of transformation.
6. Choose Growth On Purpose
Identify two new areas to expand into next year. Fresh challenges shape stronger, more capable versions of ourselves.
7. Seek the Truth in Your Relationships.
Ask people you value how you can show up better. Growth accelerates when we’re brave enough to hear the answers.
That’s the real power of December:
It’s not an ending.
It’s a launchpad.
