BBBLLLTHHHHWWWWEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! (That's the sound of me blowing my New Year's celebration horn for you, Reader.🎉) Yes, the clock's ticked down on 2024 and 2025 has elbowed her way in. But before we completely turn the corner, let's stop. 🛑 Let's take a look back. Wait--what? Yep, if you're a longtime reader of my work here at RedCapeRevolution.com, you know I'm not a big fan of wading through the past. I'm more interested in the choices we make NOW. The decisions we're making TODAY. The courage we're building to be ready for tomorrow. 💥 But every once in a while--especially after that underdressed New Year's cherub waddles through your door—a little peek in the rearview is a good thing. As my New Year's gift for you, here's a tool to do just that. Download your Year-End Look Back Here. It's a fast, private, and powerfully different way to look at the year that's past--much more effective than trying to count "wins" or "losses." (And a whole lot more fun than your year-end performance review.) Give it a try, Reader. When you do, I'd love to hear from you. Just hit REPLY and tell me the one thing that surprised you as you looked back on 2024. My ears are open and my fingers are poised to write you back. Can't wait to soar through this new year with you. Red capes on, people--we need you now more than ever. Happy new year! Always, Darcy
P.S. If the new year means it's time to FINALLY get clear about what you want in your career, start with my on-demand class, Get Career Clear. In just six powerful lessons, you'll know what's most important to you and how to translate that into what's next. Plus, use the code NEWYEAR2025 for a $100 discount if you grab it before January 6! Dive in now! --D |

Before we shut down for a few weeks to enjoy the holidays, I decided to write you a little poem, Reader. Here goes: To my beloved readers, my clients, and friends,Here's a heartfelt message as this season ends.The challenges you've faced; the victories won 🏆,Together, we've grown--great work is now done. You’ve led with courage, you’ve stretched and tried,Navigating storms, taken in stride.In the moments of doubt, you’ve found your own ways,Turning dark, cloudy skies into much brighter...
Every December, Reader, millions of professionals around the world agonize over one simple question: Should I give gifts to my coworkers? It's tricky to answer. But I'll try anyway. Here's my mental model for giving gifts at work. First of all, everybody appreciates appreciation. If you've had a great experience working with someone this year--or even if it's been a little bumpy but you've welcomed how they've shown up--consider some form of appreciation. I'm not a fan of giving food or drink...
Y'know, Reader, I've always said "readers are leaders and leaders are readers." And I try hard to live up to that saying by reading (or listening to) a LOT of books. As the holidays draw near, I like giving books, too. To me, a book isn't just about the content--it's a symbol that you're thinking about the person and who they are or what they might need. If you'd like some ideas for the folks on your list, here are a few books I read (or re-read) this year. Note: links are Amazon affiliate...
