As the year winds down, many leaders feel the weight of unfinished goals and lingering challenges. But effective coaching reminds us that every “problem” is simply an invitation—to notice, learn, and grow. The shift from problem to possibility begins with insight, then solidifies through intentional action.

Times they are a changin’. And, without a clear approach on developing our talent, our talent will not develop technical and interpersonal/soft/relationship skills needed for optimal results. We are going through so many unprecedented changes: technological advancements; employee exodus/resignations; social awareness and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI); remote work, masked work; political divisiveness; physical and mental stressors and more. This is a time for upskilling, for reskilling, and for career conversations.
