The December–January holiday period is often a natural pause point — a chance to step back, reflect on the year that’s been, and think deliberately about what comes next. For some, it’s about returning in the new year with renewed energy, clearer priorities and a fresh focus on doing their current role even better. For others, it’s a time when decisions are made about changing roles or even careers altogether. Both paths are positive. What matters most is staying motivated, engaged and relevant — investing in growth, skills and purpose so you’re well positioned for whatever the next chapter brings.
