This week, I focused on activating clarity and collaboration by taking a critical pause to reflect on the first half of 2025—and discovering direction for the next 60 days, aka the heart of summer.

Summer often brings a welcomed shift in rhythm between work and play. Let’s support one another in keeping our businesses moving forward—and make it fun while we’re at it!

🎧 To help you prep and reset, I’m resharing a podcast I recorded back in 2023 on the power of the intentional pause—a tool to review what’s working, what’s not, and how to move forward with purpose.

👇 Below you will also find the reflection questions I reference on the episode—designed to help you frame your next 60 days and build momentum where it matters most.

Pause to Reflect:

• What was my intention coming into 2025?
• What has changed? Why?
• What are my hits? Why?
• What are my misses? Why?
• What have I added? Why?
• What am I prioritizing right now? What are competing interests? Context?

When you reflect on your hits, misses, and/or changes, what drove the first half of this year?

• Your energy is built on your present conditioning. How are your exercise, nutrition, sleep, rest, recovery, meditation, etc., impacting your energy?
• Did your misses occur due to burnout or poor management of energy and/or boundaries (e.g., fear, indecision, fatigue)?
• What do you find yourself worrying about most?
• What is responsible for your hits during the first half of the year? (Strengths)
• Where are you experiencing momentum?

Calendar Review:

• What were your needle movers this first half of the year?
• What are your revenue-generating activities?
• Time wasters?
• What’s not on your schedule that should be added?

LIVE Contacts This Summer & a “Next Step”:

• When was the last time I reviewed my database to see who I have not reengaged with this year?
• Do I need to expand my LIVE contacts? Am I seeing the same people week to week?
• _______________ LIVE contacts weekly // TRACK my “next step” (where/how/when will I track?)

My Next 60 Days — What is MOST important right now:

• Two things to keep:
• One thing to stop:
• One thing to begin:

And as always—I’m curious: What will you greenlight coming out of this pause and into the intentionality of the summer months? 🌿

Drop a comment or shoot me a text—I’d love to hear what you’re leaning into.
