Holiday Nutrients
Hi all.
This will be my last post for 2025, and you have the option of watching the 95 sec. video or by reading the content below. Thanks too for doing the journey with me again this year. It is much appreciated. Enjoy!!!
Holiday Nutrients
I was asked to look after a herb garden recently, and while the basil was still green, its height was stunted; its leaves had curled. I suspected it might be a nutrient deficiency. I applied a fertiliser and within a week, those babies rebounded beautifully.
The fertiliser I used had specific nutrients tailored to the type of plants I was working with, and it seems that, as individual humans, we also have particular nutrient requirements that enable us to thrive.
As many of us here in Australia are heading into the holiday season, it’s a good time to identify, and then apply, some of those nutrients into our worlds. I know for me, long walks through city streets, a cigar and wine with friends, deep dive reading, cooking, and dancing with my partner—whether on dance floors or street corners— are a few of those nutrients that regenerate me. It’s different for all of us.
I trust that over these next few weeks, you get to indulge in those things that nourish you. May they refresh and inspire you with new insights and energy for the year ahead.
And lastly, thank you so much for keeping me company here this year and for being such an important part of my wider community. I will be back with weekly posts in mid-January, but may drop some random ones in the meantime.
I wish you all the best, however you celebrate the season.

As always, I’d love to know if this piece (or my writing in general this year) has been helpful by your click on the heart.
For additional nutrients in a leadership context for 2026, you might want to have a look at the following courses combining both training and coaching that I will be running from early February.

The Self Aware Leader - Six sessions over three months.
My book may also be helpful, which assists in developing lean operations in areas such as leadership, marketing, strategy and planning, sales, time management, workflows, finances, and people.
