Tools for Changemakers: End of Year Reflection

As 2026 comes to a close, take a moment to pause, review, recharge, and prepare for what lies ahead.

Reflection is one of the most powerful leadership tools in your kit. It's how you make sense of your experiences, recognise what you've learned and work out what comes next. But when you're busy tackling the next big challenge, taking time to look back is often the first thing to slip. 

The good news? Reflection doesn't have to be a solo exercise. Sometimes the best insights come from thinking things through together, and it's always easier to see how far you've come when someone else helps you look back.  

Set aside 90-minutes for a guided reflect and review workshop with Dr Louise Duxbury. You’ll have the opportunity to celebrate your wins, unpack challenges, and recognise what you’ve learnt along the way to take into your next chapter.

What you'll walk away with:

• Clarity on what to carry forward and what to leave behind.

• Fresh energy and perspective for the year ahead.

• Practical reflection tools to support balance, wellbeing, and meaningful impact in your leadership.
