Happy New Year everyone! As we reflect on 2025, we wanted to express our gratitude for the insights and inspiration provided to us by our project teams and peers that often are translated into our newsletter. We are committed to providing thought leadership and sharing practical “how-to” guidance on teamwork, leadership, and communication, that we hope resonates with our readers connected with most.

Each newsletter offers ideas worth revisiting as we look ahead to the year to come.
#5 Mother Goose Knows Teamwork – Cinda Bond
Cinda’s standout newsletter used the familiar nursery rhyme Jack Sprat to explore teamwork, roles, and collaboration. In her usual clever and insightful way, Cinda Bond shared five tips (1. Single Purpose, 2. Have Fun, 3. Act as One, 4. Positive Culture, 5. Trust) that capture what makes effective teams thrive, with a creative twist readers loved.
#4 Letting Go – Sue Dyer
In this newsletter, Sue tackled the often-challenging concept of letting go and shared effective strategies to embrace change and foster a positive work environment. She also invited leaders and teams to examine what may be holding them back: old habits, outdated goals, or limiting mindsets.
#3 Your New Year’s Resolutions: Building Strong Teams for a Bright Project Future – Kate Stewart
This was a thoughtful kickoff to 2025! Kate’s newsletter blended personal growth with professional aspiration, helping readers set resolutions that are meaningful, achievable, and aligned with team goals. This became a reader favorite for its practical framing and motivational tone.
