I had a good friend recently post about how year-end can feel like a vortex where business comes to a screeching halt and everyone is unplugged. If that were even true for the last week of December, it certainly won't be true come January 5th. Year-end activities will continue well into the first quarter. Don't be a passive participant in this season of the calendar year. Even if you are still shaking off the flu picked up at holiday celebrations like me or are jet lagged from holiday travel. These are crucial weeks where our level of success in the new year is forged.

What You'll Learn From This Episode:

• The winning mindset and approach to end-of-year self-reflection, year-end performance reviews, promotion announcements, compensation communications, layoffs, and objective setting
• A special offer for my Year-End Playbook as a success guide to these year-end activities through the first quarter
