Happy Holidays from Our Family to You & Yours!

What does the Mikolaj Family want for Christmas? That Dem Cowboys can end their road trip woes!

Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.

I chose the opening quote because love is not just a value to me; it's my core. This past year, I've been fortunate to experience an abundance of love, and I hope that I've embodied this core value more days than not. What's truly remarkable about the work I do is the privilege of connecting with new partners in love and service. To each of you, thank you for being a constant inspiration.

The most profound and meaningful love I've encountered comes from my wife and Da Boys (pictured above). Running a coaching and consulting business isn't without its challenges, but they've been my unwavering support, standing by my side and encouraging me at every turn. I'm blessed to have them and all of you on this incredible journey.

How does love manifest itseld? 
Here are a few instances from my experiences this year:

• Leaders investing in coaching from their own pockets to develop their teams.
  
• A first-time manager eager to navigate the transition to leadership for a positive impact.
  
• Leaders working through conflicts to move forward together with their teammates and colleagues.
  
• Efforts to shift organizational culture for a thriving team.
• Acts of generosity, such as donating time and resources to help those in need.
  
• Mentors passing on best practices to aid in career transitions.
  
• HR executives going above and beyond to understand and serve their constituents.
  
• Colleagues and small business owners navigating the challenges of improving lives through their work.
  
• Colleagues encouraging and supporting one another in too many ways to count!
  

As you know, I'm on a mission to collaborate with like-minded leaders dedicated to making a positive difference. So, in this festive season and beyond, I invite you to conspire with me and others in love, service, and creating a positive impact.

In alignment with my central core value of love, I'll be on a soft vacation for the next two weeks, focusing on family, holidays, and personal renewal. While I'll be posting on Facebook and LinkedIn occasionally, there won't be a blog next week. Mikolaj's Monday Maunder will return the week of January 7, 2024. I'll still be checking emails and voicemail messages daily.

I encourage you to also take time for renewal and reflection, cherishing moments with loved ones.

During this season of love and reflection, I invite you to share your stories of positive impact or reflect on the values that guide you.  Let's create a community of like-minded individuals committed to making a difference.

Happy holidays and a joyful New Year from our family to yours!
