If you were to have a glimpse into my phone, you would find dozens of voice notes to myself a personal catalog of insights and inspiration I’ve captured throughout the year. This practice has been my way of honoring the learning journey that every day brings, and I always end the year spent in deep reflection to prepare myself for the season and for the year ahead.
As we approach the end of 2024, I invite you to join me and consider the moments that have shaped your path this year. In the pages ahead, you’ll find a few questions we are reflecting on here at The Olori Network, with open space to consider how you’d answer them.
May they inspire new insights and offer a moment of stillness as you look back on the year.
Cheers to the season and to a happy, healthy, and abundant New Year,
FOUNDER + CEO
LESSONS LEARNED
Here at The Olori Network, we hold fast to the belief that within each challenge lies an opportunity to learn, and apply those learnings to our full lives. Reflect on the challenges that tested you this year and consider the wisdom each one brought with it.
Reflection: what challenging lesson did I learn this year? How might I apply the lessons I learned to my life?
SUPPORT SYSTEMS
We believe relationships are the single greatest asset and are key to growth and change. And yet, in the fast-paced flow of our work and lives, we may miss chances to honor those who have been instrumental to our journey. Take a moment to consider who supported your growth this year and if you haven’t already share your gratitude with them.
Reflection: Who supported or challenged me this year, and how did that shape my growth? How might I let these people know about the impact on me this year?
YOUR BEST SELF
Leadership requires practicing self-awareness and deeply knowing what we need to be at our best. It looks different for each of us, and yet it is so important that we get in touch with our needs and share them with those around us. As you look ahead to next year, what conditions enable you to perform at your best?
Reflection: What have I learned about the conditions needed to show up at my best? What practices and rituals do I need to build into my day-to-day to enable those conditions? What will it take for me to ensure I can do that, and how might I share my needs with those around me?
With immense gratitude
If you’ve come this far, THANK YOU — for your trust, partnership, and commitment to continuous growth.
Whether through projects, conversations, or passing moments, it has been a privilege to learn and evolve alongside you this year. As we look forward to 2025, I’m excited by all the possibilities we can create together.
We wish you a restful holiday and a new year full of inspiration and insight.
