What will your year story be?
As the year wraps up, it's time to pause and reflect: What’s the story of your year? Is it a narrative of growth, connection, and small (or big) wins? Or are you caught replaying what didn’t go to plan? In this inspiring episode, Gillian shares how the stories we tell ourselves shape our reality, confidence, and outlook for the future.
You’ll discover how to reframe your year, celebrate what truly matters, and shift your perspective to build positive momentum as you step into 2025.
Whether you’re winding down for the holidays or still tying up loose ends, this episode is your reminder to recognise the moments that defined your year—both big and small—and rewrite a story you’re proud to tell.

Five fresh ideas for making mentoring work in 2025
In this episode, I explore how to approach mentorship strategically in 2025, offering five key "needle movers" to help you find an exceptional mentor and maximise the relationship.
In my view, mentorship should always be pursued with purpose and thoughtfulness, and be integrated into your broader career strategy. By focusing on the right relationships, mentorship can be a powerful tool for professional growth.
And here's a quick tip, don't assume that seniority equates to effective mentorship. While senior leaders bring authority and experience, meaningful mentorship is about finding someone aligned with your goals who offers actionable insights, not just a prestigious title.
Intrigued? Let's dive in!
