Dear Friends,

As we step into the new year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the people who have shaped our journeys and helped us achieve our goals.

One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned in my career is that those who genuinely want to see you win will go out of their way to support you. These are the mentors, colleagues, friends, and even competitors who invest their time and wisdom into your success because they believe in your potential.

In this first newsletter of the year, we’ll explore how to identify these invaluable supporters and the importance of paying it forward. Let’s start 2025 by celebrating the power of genuine connections and setting the tone for a year of growth, collaboration, and mutual success.

Here's to a new year filled with meaningful support and shared victories!

Best,

David

One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned in my career—both as a doer and as an executive coach—is that the people who genuinely want to see you win will help you win.
