Merry Christmas and the Leadership Secrets from Santa

Merry Christmas
And the 10 Leadership Secrets of Santa Clause
This is my last blog for the year as the business has now well and truly closed the chapter on 2024.
 

I want to thank everyone who's supported me on the journey of launching my new business – ME!

I also want to say congratulations to everyone because whilst I'm sure there's been some ups and downs, I hope you're able to put a close on 2024 with a heart of gratitude and great memories of all the things you have done, rather than focusing on what hasn't been done.

Enjoy your break, stay safe and have wonderful times with your family and friends.

I look forward to sharing with you more tips, inspiration and insights to help you grow your small business when I open the doors again on Monday 13th January 2025.

The 10 Leadership Secrets of Santa Clause
As it is the season, I thought I'd share the 3 key points of each Leadership Secret from one of my favourite books.

And I'm sure you'd agree, there's lessons in them for all of us and even if you know them, maybe it's time for a gentle reminder.
