November: Reflection, Intention and Action

You may feel, like me, that the year has flown by and there’s pressure to finalise projects, reach end of year deadlines or simply to stay afloat!

But November can be one of the most powerful months of the year.

It provides an opportunity to reflect and refocus, so you’re starting the new year with energy and momentum.

Here’s how to make the most of the month ahead …

Review the Year with Facts, Not Emotion: Ask yourself:

Which goals were met and which ones need a final push?

What strategies actually worked?

What lessons were learned?

What challenges were overcome?

Prioritise Next Steps: Look at your remaining goals and ask: What two or three actions would create the most impact before year-end?

Reconnect and Re-engage: Reach out to former clients, mentors, or peers. A thoughtful message or coffee chat could turn into opportunities next year.

Build for 2026: November is also a good time to prepare for the next stage in your profession or business by …

Identifying growth areas or new markets

Updating your Social Media profiles and website

Outlining professional and personal development goals

Scheduling your first quarter priorities

Protect Your Energy and Health: Productivity without balance can be exhausting and can make us more prone to colds and flu. What steps can you take to support your health and wellbeing?

Stocking up on active wear. As the weather has been wonderful over the summer I’ve played a lot of tennis outside. We will continue to play outdoors as much as possible over the winter months, however it will be cold! I buy most of my active wear from Sweaty Betty (click here for 20% off through my referral link) and Bam Clothing (this is the referral link for 20% off. Click here )

Drinking Lemon and Ginger Tea from Teapigs. They have a great range of herbal teas which I find are perfect for the afternoon when I want to avoid caffeine.
