As we move into the final stretch of 2025, it’s the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and ask: am I spending my energy in the right areas?
The quality of your life is shaped by the quality of the questions you ask yourself.
If you focus on “Where did I go wrong?” or “Why did I fail?” you’ll only see limitations.
But when you ask, “What do I really want?” or “What went right?” you shift your focus to possibility and progress.
It’s like walking in the dark with a torch—you decide what to shine your light on. And what you choose to illuminate determines what you see.
Here are some powerful reflection questions to guide you as you close out 2025 and prepare for 2026:
-
What have I done particularly well in the last 12 months?
-
Which goals have we achieved—or made meaningful progress toward?
-
What curveballs came my way, and how did I grow from them?
-
What have I learnt about myself and my leadership?
-
Where do I want to be this time next year—both professionally and personally?
-
Which parts of my life energise me, and which need to shift?
Most importantly: What do I really, really want?
My mentor Bob Proctor often said: if your goal doesn’t feel scary and exciting at the same time, it’s not your goal. The right goals should stir your emotions, because that’s where the fuel for consistent action comes from.
I’ve seen it firsthand. Changing career in my mid-forties, getting promotions that I hadn’t expected, to finding our dream home.
Now is the moment to set goals that energise and inspire you—not the kind that feel like someone else’s checklist. With only a few months left in 2025, this is your chance to clear the noise, define what really matters, and head into 2026 with momentum.
If you’re ready to get clear and want a partner to guide you through the process, let’s talk. Coaching with me will help ensure your energy is being invested where it matters most—so that by the time January arrives, you’re not starting over… you’re already in motion.
