It is Because of You

As we approach the end of the year, I’ve been reflecting on what 2025 has meant — not just professionally, but personally, energetically, and in the very real lived experiences I’ve been invited into.

And the truth is simple:
I wouldn’t be here, fully in this work, without YOU.

Every workshop you attended.
Every conversation we had.
Every moment where you chose honesty over performance.
Every email, DM, and quiet “that landed for me, Lisa.”

Each one helped me step more fully into the core purpose that’s always been sitting in my bones:

To change every single person’s experience in Boardrooms — so no one else has to endure what I did.

This year, I’ve watched leaders do something extraordinary:

They chose clean power.

Not the loud kind.
Not the positional kind.
Not the egoic kind.

But the kind that is steady, calm, clear, and deeply aligned.
The kind where someone decides, “I’m not going to play nice, play dead, or play politics — I’m going to show up clean.”

And when even one person does that?

The entire room shifts.
People breathe easier.
Truth becomes possible.
Decision-making becomes cleaner, faster, more human.

Governance stops being a stack of documents…
and becomes what it actually is:

A behavioural system.

This year, I’ve seen you:

• name misalignment you used to tolerate

• speak up when silence cost too much

• choose integrity over impression management

• challenge power without making it personal

• honour what your body knew long before your mind caught up

These moments aren’t loud, but they’re seismic.
This is the real work of leadership.

And it’s why 2026 already feels different.

There’s momentum building — a readiness for deeper conversations, cleaner power, and braver behavioural choices.

Next year, I’ll be sharing a series of Behavioural Governance workshops designed to support leaders who want to step into this next level with clarity, depth, and alignment.

If you’re feeling that internal nudge — that sense of “it’s time” — stay close.
2026 is the year we go deeper.

Thank you — truly — for being part of this work, in whatever way you have been.

When leaders shift, everything shifts.

With gratitude,
Lisa
