It’s the rush to the end of the year. While this is not the best time to reflect, it’s a good time to take note of how you are feeling. Has it been a good year for your career? Are you excited about what lays ahead for you? Maybe you are exhausted or frustrated. Or perhaps you are adjusting to news of an unexpected redundancy or know you need to do something differently in 2025. #StartBug #CreateYourFuture #Start
