Hi Reader,

It’s been a week full of reflection, gratitude, and a little bit of awe. I just turned 52, and while part of me wonders how time flies so quickly, another part feels like I’m standing on the edge of something completely new.

Birthdays have a way of stirring up these thoughts, don’t they?

Over the years, I’ve learned that age is less about the numbers and more about the stories we carry. This past year was a big one for me - a dance between endings and new beginnings. I learned that creation and letting go aren’t opposites: they’re two sides of the same coin, constantly in motion. It’s the space between that breathes life into everything I do, and I’ve become comfortable with the idea that some things need to end to make room for what’s next.

This year, I started sharing more frequently on LinkedIn. While it’s easy to wonder whether my voice was needed among the sea of others, the answer was simple for me: I felt called to create a positive place where I could encourage and motivate others, share insights, and be the person in their corner when they needed it.

If you'd like to explore some of my most popular posts, here are a few that resonated the most:

• ​What People Think Safety Leadership Is​
• ​Stop Waiting for Someone Else To Build Your Career For You​
• ​Everyone Says Discipline Is The Key To Success.

Another part of my journey has been focusing on growth and experimenting - aiming to get just 1% better every day. I've been applying this mindset to the videos I'm posting on LinkedIn, embracing the process of learning as I go.

If you'd like to check them out, here are a few that I'm incredibly proud of:

• ​My Safety Leadership Tip​
• ​60-Second Resilience Masterclass​
• ​The Specialist vs. Generalist Debate.

I've realized that meaningful creation doesn’t happen through force or overanalysis. Instead, it comes when we let go, trust the process, and open ourselves to whatever comes next.

Reflecting on my year spinning around this beautiful earth, I think about the projects, the dreams, and the people I’ve had to let go of. And as hard as it is to say goodbye, I know that I make space for new opportunities and connections in releasing these things. So, if you’re reading this and you’re holding onto something you know you need to release, take it from me - it’s a gift to let go.

As I move into this next year, I hope to continue creating from a place of openness and trust. I’ve learned that when we stop trying to control the outcomes, we leave room for the unexpected - and often, the unexpected is where the magic happens.

So here’s to another year of embracing both creation and endings. And if you’re ready to let go of what no longer serves you, know you’re not alone on this journey. Let’s face these changes together with gratitude and curiosity for what lies ahead.

Until next time, keep challenging what you think you know and embrace the possibilities waiting to unfold.

If this resonates with you, I want you to take that bold step toward your own reinvention. Maybe that means rethinking your career, or perhaps it's about leading in a way that aligns with your deeper purpose.
