info_outlineAs 2021 begins to wind down, I take some time to reflect and share with you my top lessons learnt from the year that’s been. Both in my business at StartUp Creative HQ but also with my Business Coaching clients from around the globe covering so many different industries and business models. We’ve all had to learn new ways of doing business, surviving the unknown and digging deep to persevere through some of the darkness and hardest conditions we’ve all been faced with. If there’s one good thing that comes out of all this chaos, it’s that we went through it together and there are some solid collective lessons that we can learn from each other to better prepare for the new year, whatever that may bring.
Enjoy my top lessons, would love to hear if you can relate or what your top lessons were from 2021.
