#35 Christmas Eve Reflections for Leaders – Pause, Reflect and Create Direction for the Year Ahead

A guided year-end reflection for leaders. Explore gratitude, learning and direction before setting goals for the New Year.

As the year draws to a close, it’s easy to rush straight into new goals and plans.
In this Christmas Eve episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour. leadership coach Hanna Zaxmy invites you to do something different first: to pause.

This episode is a calm and reflective guide for leaders who want to close the year with clarity, gratitude, and inner grounding — before taking the next step into the New Year.

Through personal stories, Swedish Christmas traditions, and simple reflection questions, you are supported in reviewing the past year in a sustainable and human way. The focus is not on performance, but on learning, insight, and direction.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

  • Why pausing and reflection are essential parts of sustainable leadership
  • How to reflect on the year without self-criticism or pressure
  • Gratitude, pride, and learning as tools for self-leadership
  • What worked, what didn’t — and what you want to carry forward
  • How reflection creates clarity, focus, and long-term direction

This episode is perfect to listen to during the Christmas holidays, on a quiet walk, or in a still moment where you want to reconnect with yourself — beyond to-do lists and expectations.
