As the year draws to a close, Christmas serves as a gentle reminder of the values that guide us—not just during the festive season, but throughout life: compassion, generosity, reflection, and hope. This season encourages us to pause, appreciate the journey, and embrace the opportunity to evolve. For me, Christmas is not just about celebrations but also about learning: - Unlearning what no longer serves us, just as the festive spirit teaches us to let go of stress and focus on gratitude. - Recreating connections, ideas, and aspirations, much like the warmth of holiday traditions brings people together. - Embracing the unknown, as each new year mirrors the wonder and anticipation that Christmas morning holds. As we prepare for 2025, I carry forward these lessons—using them to evolve as a professional, empower communities, and foster creativity with purpose. Just like the season inspires generosity, I strive to embed intention and mindfulness in my work, ensuring every step I take uplifts and inspires others. 🙌 Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful Christmas filled with love, peace, and inspiration. Here’s to stepping into the new year with purpose and resilience! 🎄

This festive week has been quite relaxed, but I thought I'd share a few of my thoughts having had the opportunity to leave my comfort zone 23rd - 27th of December. 📅 As someone who likes a list, process or a routine, leaving my comfort zone isn't something that I often seek out, however, it is something I've actively tried to do more often recently. 💪 There are a lot of benefits of leaving your comfort zone including; - Expanding your horizons by trying new things and meeting new people. - Achieving your goals. - Becoming more confident and resilient. - Learning more about yourself. 🏔️ Much like climbing a mountain, the key is to take small steps and it all starts with setting a SMART goal. 📝 Make a plan - outline small, achievable steps and commit to them. Tell a friend. Write a note in the mirror. Set a daily reminder on your phone. 🎬 Take action - don't be afraid to try, fail, and start again. You'll soon build up momentum and be on your way. ⏹️ Find your boundaries - as you progress, you'll work out where your comfort zone ends. If you find yourself slowing down or struggling, take a moment to celebrate your progress and ask a friend for help. "The further you get away from yourself, the more challenging it is. Not to be in your comfort zone is great fun. - Benedict Cumberbatch 🏃 Keep going - you'll soon find yourself pushing outside of your comfort zones and finding new limits. Acknowledge your fears and try to push past them. While not easy, the rewards are certainly worth it and you'll find immense joy in personal growth. I know I have.

Embracing Reflection, Gratitude, and a Growth mindset: A Year-End Message As we approach the end of the year and the festive season, I encourage you to pause and reflect. Look back at your journey from the start of the year—not in denial of failures or setbacks, but in recognition of the resilience you’ve shown through it all. Life’s challenges often serve as recalibrators, preparing us for greater launches into the future. Like the ocean that maintains its balance amidst storms, we too can find strength in gratitude and persistence. Reflecting on your triumphs—no matter how small—keeps joy alive in your heart, fosters a positive spirit, and inspires optimism for what lies ahead. The holiday season is also the perfect time to rest, unwind, re-strategize, and plan for a fresh relaunch in the new year. Whether you take a few days or weeks, what truly matters is celebrating your achievements—big or small. Acknowledge the battles you’ve fought, the self-doubt you’ve conquered, and the progress you’ve made—even if it felt like you were doing it alone. In summary: I know it’s hard to dance when no one is clapping for you, but never stop dancing! Be your own biggest cheerleader. Celebrate your victories, talk yourself through the tough moments, hold your head high, and never lose sight of who you are and who you’re becoming—even during life’s most challenging seasons. Keep your joy alive through gratitude. Rest, reflect, plan, and relaunch with purpose in the new year. Let’s end this year with gratitude and begin the next with determination. Wishing you all a restful and reflective holiday season. #EndOfYearReflections #Gratitude #Resilience #NewBeginnings #GrowthMindset

After about 6,850 days and 75 quarter ends, my time at Partners Capital has come to an end. I am taking off a few months in 2025 and am excited about my next adventure, which is TBD. There have been many challenges and opportunities over the past 18+ years. I have learned, have grown, and made my fair share of mistakes. I want to share with you a few reflections from my experiences. I cannot take credit for many of these learnings, but I hope you they will make you pause for a moment and they might be helpful in some way. Listed in no order: - Serve your purpose and love what you do. - Forgive. Life is too short to hold grudges.  - Practice wonder, kindness, and gratitude – LG. - Time is a currency – spend it wisely – Byron Reeder. - Look up from your phone. Absorb the world around you.  - Never neglect your health. Get at least eight hours of sleep every day. - You are always happy when you are eating ice cream – JP. Give it a try. - Some days you are the bug and some days you are the windscreen – JP. - Know your limits and then push yourself a little more out of your comfort zone. - Your attitude is a choice. Be the best version of yourself for yourself and for others. - Surround yourself with people who will push you to do better. Listen to the knowing and not to the no’s. - Your diet it is not only what you eat, but also what you follow, who you spend time with, what you watch and read – Tiny Buddha. - Never regret trying something new even if it does not work out. Regret only those opportunities you had but did not take. Be bold and don’t be afraid to take risks. - Never poke a hornet’s nest – well almost never. Status quo is usually easy, and change is usually hard. But every now and then you need to poke the hornet’s nest. - Above the clouds, there is always blue sky – Therese of Lisieux. At the end of the day, you will be okay! As we approach the Festive Season, I hope you find joy and happiness with your friends and family. May the New Year be bountiful and peaceful. “Keep your feet on the ground and reach for the stars”.

As the world slows down for Christmas, I find myself reflecting: not on deadlines or deliverables, but on the things that truly matter. Faith. Family. Purpose. ✨ Faith reminds me that every decision I make should be rooted in integrity and grace. It’s my compass in life and business, guiding me to lead with heart and intention. ✨ Family is my anchor. They remind me why I work so hard - not for the hustle, but to create a life that allows me to be present for them. ✨ Purpose is what fuels my passion. It’s the reason I help my clients build businesses that don’t just grow, but truly thrive—businesses that create freedom for the people behind them. This season, I’m not just thinking about what I’ve accomplished this year. I’m asking myself deeper questions: 👉 Am I living and working in alignment with my values? 👉 What am I carrying into 2025? And what do I need to leave behind? Christmas is a reset - a time to let gratitude guide us, to realign with what matters, and to plan for a future built on the things we hold dear. As we close out the year, I’d love to hear from you: What values are shaping the way you move forward? Let’s reflect together. 🍂 I’m Evelyn Kimani , an Operations Consultant at Amini Business Consulting passionate about helping businesses simplify processess and create efficient systems. 🍃 I offer tailored solutions in: 1.

Embracing “Hygge” As November winds down and the holidays draw near, it’s natural to take a moment to reflect on the year behind us. From tackling demanding projects to celebrating wins and navigating setbacks, this year has been full of challenges and growth. One thing that’s helped me stay grounded is embracing the idea of “hygge”—finding joy in life’s simple, everyday moments. Whether it’s savoring a hot cup of coffee on a crisp morning, unwinding with a favorite hobby, or spending unhurried time with family on weekend getaways, these small rituals have brought a sense of calm and gratitude. As the pace slows toward year-end, I’m reminded how important it is to acknowledge these moments of warmth and simplicity. They recharge us, giving us strength to tackle what lies ahead with a clear mind and an open heart. So, as we wrap up the year, let’s celebrate the little things that bring us joy and keep us steady. Sometimes, it’s those quiet, ordinary moments that make life extraordinary.

For many of you, the emails have slowed, the deadlines have been met, and the work is officially done for 2024. So, let’s pause, breathe, and remind ourselves of something so important: "2024 isn’t over - keep shining!" Yes, the hard work of the year is behind you, but this week isn’t just about winding down - it’s about lighting up your life in ways that bring you joy.

Go for a walk, sit in the sunshine, or just spend a moment reflecting on how far you’ve come this year. ✨ Spread Your Light: The festive season is the perfect time to show kindness and gratitude - to yourself, your loved ones, and even strangers. A small gesture, a kind word, or a thoughtful moment can brighten someone else’s day. ✨ Look Ahead with Excitement: 2024 isn’t quite over, and the best is yet to come.
