Holiday Road Trip:
Leadership Lessons and Lane Changes Ahead in the New Year
with Bruce Waller
Hop in, buckle up, and join us for a lighthearted road trip through the year. We'll revisit the unexpected detours, construction zones, flat tires, scenic routes, and memorable passengers that shaped our journey throughout 2026. Through funny stories, lessons from podcast guests, and reflections from members, we'll celebrate what we've learned and set our GPS for where we're headed next. We'll end by identifying our personal "2027 destination" and committing to the next mile marker on the road ahead.
After attending this session, participants will:
* Reflect on key leadership lessons from 2026.
* Celebrate successes, resilience, and growth moments.
* Connect through storytelling and shared experiences.
* Define a meaningful leadership destination for 2027.
* Leave energized and focused on the year ahead.
Every great road trip includes wrong turns, unexpected weather, and a few flat tires. What matters isn't that the journey was perfect. What matters is that we kept moving forward, learned from the miles behind us, and are excited about the road ahead. Here's to safe travels, bold destinations, and an incredible 2027 journey.
