REFLECTIONS ON A YEAR NEARLY GONE.. 2025
Well.. 'pon my word.. what a year this has been .. filled with surprises, new beginnings.
As we move toward the end of 2025, I’ve found myself reflecting on just how big this year has been.
It has been a year of significant change, a very busy and rewarding period in my own life, and business practice, and one that has certainly come with its share of challenges.
Like many, I’ve been learning to work with AI rather than resist it — and discovering that when used well, it can support growth, efficiency, and better outcomes for clients and professionals alike.
2025 has also been a year of continued learning and training — not only investing in my own professional development, but supporting, volunteering, mentoring, supervising, and training others. That work remains deeply important to me.
One of the greatest privileges this year has been meeting inspiring people — professionals, colleagues, and clients — whose integrity, courage, and commitment to growth continually remind me why this work matters.
These connections inspire me, both personally and professionally, to keep striving — for myself, for others, and for the communities we serve. Remain a beacon of HOPE in challenging times.
As I look ahead to 2026, I do so with optimism, purpose, and energy.
Most certainly - I’m looking forward to building on the foundations laid this year, and each previous years, embracing innovation thoughtfully, continuing to learn and remain reflective in my own practice, whilst supporting safe, respectful outcomes for families and individuals through ADRAMS Mediation Services.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey- friends, colleagues and this wonderful community of professionals
I wish each and every one a peaceful, relaxing, joyful Christmas and New Year - to be filled with every Grace, and Blessing to you and yours.
