As the calendar turns to January 1, 2026, the noise is predictable. Social media is flooded with “New Year, New Me” hashtags, gym membership offers, and lists of resolutions that—statistically speaking—often fade by February.
But this year, I want to offer a different perspective.
In my years of coaching leaders and consulting with brands, I’ve noticed a pattern. We often treat a New Year like a repair shop. We look at ourselves, find the “broken” parts, and set resolutions to fix them. We start the year from a place of deficit.
What if we started 2026 from a place of worth instead?
The Trap of “Fixing” vs. “Growing”
Leadership isn’t just about managing others; it’s about how you manage your own mindset. When you set a resolution based on what you lack, you are constantly fighting an uphill battle against your own self-image.
This year, I invite you to flip the script. Instead of asking, “What is wrong with me that needs changing?” try asking, “What is valuable in me that needs scaling?”
Real growth doesn’t come from punishing yourself for past mistakes. It comes from recognizing the unique value you already bring to the table—whether in your business, your family, or your community—and deciding to invest in that value.
The Leader in the Mirror
If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that the hustle culture is evolving.
This year, be kind to the leader in the mirror. You cannot pour from an empty cup, and you cannot lead others effectively if you are constantly critiquing your own performance without acknowledging your progress.
Treat yourself with the same patience and encouragement you would offer a team member you are mentoring.
A New Approach for the New Year
2026 is a blank page, but you are not starting from zero. You are bringing years of experience, resilience, and unique value into this new chapter.
So, my wish for you is not just “Success” in the traditional sense. I wish you a year of realization—realizing that your plans matter, your voice matters, and that you have the capacity to lead with impact.
You don’t need to be fixed. You just need to be realized.
Something New is Coming…
This philosophy—that you are not a problem to be solved, but a person of immense value—is the central theme of a major project I have been working on for the last year.
I am currently putting the finishing touches on a new book dedicated entirely to this topic. It is designed to be a practical guide to discovering the intrinsic value that drives true leadership and happiness.
I will be unveiling the official title, the cover, and the launch details later this month. Because you are part of this community, I want you to be at the front of the line to see it.
