#271. Season final with Shelley - reflections on 2025 and aspirations for 2026
Thu Dec 18 2025
In her final episode for 2025, Shelley reflects on the year that was and her intention to live and lead in more sustainable ways. Throughout the season, the conversations focused on practical insights and strategies to help you be more effective in your role, without trading kindness for strength, or strength for kindness. Together, the episodes explored where our ways of working may be unsustainable, building awareness that creates choice: the opportunity to adapt, to work more effectively with our time and to lead in ways that are more human, authentic and future-focused.
As Shelley reflects on the incredible guests who contributed their wisdom this year, she gently reaffirms a powerful truth: if your version of success isn’t sustainable for all of you - your energy, health, relationships, values and what matters most - then it isn’t really success. This closing conversation challenges how we define success as leaders and invites adeeper, more holistic perspective.
Looking ahead, Season 7 will build on this theme with The Art of Defiance - exploring what it means to challenge norms, question assumptions, unlearn what no longer serves us, and lead with clarity, courage and intention in any environment.
