A Note From Rene’
As the year is coming to a close, this is a great time for reflection…both personally and professionally. Often times, these two worlds intersect. As a leader, do you know what challenges your team is dealing with at home that might be impacting them at work? One of this month’s articles focuses on how being a care giver impacts so many, whether it be for children, parents or anywhere in between. I hope you find the article thought provoking. The other article discusses the importance of doing a SWOT analysis. I find doing this near the end of the year to be quite beneficial. Assess how your year was, learn from it and apply that to your 2023 plan.
As always, if I can be of any assistance, please reach out.
I wish each and every one of you a joyous holiday season.
With gratitude,
René
