Our Better 2025 strategy could be summed up as “Think local, act local”. None of us can do much about the global movements taking society, culture, and work backwards right now, so my response is to pivot to a narrow focus on what I can influence and control, one organisation and leader at a time. Similarly, we will continue to travel this year, but we are also grateful to live somewhere so beautiful that WFH is a joy.
When we live and work we look at this
When we go outside we have this
Within 5 minute walk of our house
Within five minutes drive
2025 is a time to withdraw into somewhere as safe and pleasant as you can make it, and focus locally. That applies both in life and in work. Make islands of light, to keep the light alive and to shine a beacon out to others.
