2025 is wrapping up… it’s hard to believe!!!

I know because my kids look different in photos. They’re taller. Their faces have changed. Time moves whether we’re ready or not, and I’m often not ready.

Leadership in Change launched in late April. Seven months ago. The response has blown me away… 2,600 subscribers, dozens of conversations with leaders navigating AI in the real world, and a community that actually engages. I’ve loved the journey!

I want to end the year with something new: quarterly digests. Not another newsletter clogging your inbox, but a curated collection of the posts that resonated most. The ones that sparked conversations, and the ones leaders told me they shared with their teams.

Here are the 12 posts from Q4 that made the biggest impact, organized by what you’re trying to solve. Hope it’s helpful!
