Beginning the Year with Intention and Momentum

As we step into a new year, I want to acknowledge those of you who may be feeling unsettled right now. Perhaps you’re still searching for your next role, or maybe you’re employed but quietly questioning whether your current position still fits. If that’s the case, please know this: you’re not behind, and you’re not alone. Career paths are rarely linear, and moments of uncertainty often signal growth, even when they feel uncomfortable.

January brings renewed possibility, and the first quarter is historically one of the most active times in the job market (new budgets, headcount approvals, etc.). Many professionals wait to receive their year-end bonus before making a move, and once that happens, momentum builds. Conversations restart, hiring picks up, and opportunities begin to surface. If you’re considering a change, this is a natural time to reflect, prepare, and take a few thoughtful steps forward. Give yourself some grace and trust the process.

My team and I remain focused on listening, supporting, and showing up thoughtfully for professionals navigating career questions and for organizations searching for high-caliber Human Resources and Executive Assistant professionals. Whether this year brings change or simply greater clarity, I hope you find moments to pause, reflect, and recognize how far you’ve come. Here’s to a year ahead marked by steady progress and renewed confidence.
