Tuesday, December 23, 2025 | The Day Before Christmas Eve

Today sits in a rare and meaningful space on the calendar.

It is the day before Christmas Eve a moment when families begin to shift from productivity to presence, from schedules to connection. For executives, this does not mean stepping away from leadership. It means leading differently.

This time of year offers a powerful advantage: the ability to decompress without taking your head out of the game. When the external pace softens, clarity sharpens. This is where thoughtful leaders reassess, recalibrate, and quietly position themselves for a stronger close to the quarter and a more intentional start to the year ahead.

In leadership, balance is not a pause.

It is a strategic reset.

 

Wellness Corner

For Women Executives

Support clarity and emotional regulation today by prioritizing protein early in the day and maintaining steady hydration. Balanced blood sugar supports focus, hormonal stability, and sound decision-making especially during midlife transitions.

Use today to step outside between meetings. Even brief movement helps the nervous system recognize safety, improving focus and patience during conversations that matter.

For Men Executives

Hydrate before caffeine this morning and include potassium-rich foods such as avocado or citrus. This supports cardiovascular health, mental sharpness, and stress resilience during high-level decision making.

This is also a good day to slow the internal pace. Calm leadership is felt before it is seen.

The Power of Strategic Selection

Today is not about clearing everything.

It is about selecting what truly matters.

• Calendar Audit

If a meeting does not require a decision or does not directly inform January priorities, convert it to a brief asynchronous update.

• The Legacy Task

Choose one task that your future self will thank you for when you return in January. Closing loops now frees mental bandwidth for family, rest, and reflection.

Micro-Moments of Stillness

As the external pace softens, your internal tempo should slow even further.

• The 60-Second Reset

Between calls, practice one minute of box breathing to reinforce clarity and control.

• Digital Sunset

Set a firm laptop close time tonight. Presence is a leadership skill, especially at home.

Reflective Leadership

This is an ideal day to reinforce culture without ceremony.

Send a brief note of gratitude to a colleague or direct report. Recognition offered during quieter moments carries more weight and lasts longer than grand gestures.

“Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge.”

— Simon Sinek

Featured Book

Zero to One

Peter Thiel, co-authored with Blake Masters

Zero to One is a reminder that progress is not about doing more of what everyone else is doing.

Thiel and Masters challenge leaders to build from insight rather than imitation, emphasizing originality, durability, and long-term value creation. For executives approaching or entering a second act, the book reinforces a powerful truth: your experience allows you to see what others cannot.

This is the season to think deeply, not loudly.
