In this final episode of 2025 I share 16 questions that will help you extract more of the lessons from the last 12 months, and get clear on what is most important for the next 12.

These are the exact questions I sat down to answer a couple of weeks ago as part of my traditional annual review.

I looked at 4 areas:

1) The successes from the 205

2) The setbacks

3) What I need to amplify or release for 2026

4) The goals, mission and objectives for the year ahead

Whether you just think through your answers to these 16 questions as you listen to this episode, or spend some time writing them down and going deeper, I hope that you get some benefit from pausing and reflecting, and resetting for 2026!

My guest on today's show is cofounder of Thriviae and Workplace Performance Strategist, Luke Mulcahy.

For the last few years Luke and his team have been developing a revolutionary platform that help support organisations in tackling some of the most pressing challenges of the modern workplace.

His recently published academic paper and research report introduces the Periodic Table of Workplace Thriving, which I have to say really spoke to my love of order and organisation. It structures 24 enablers and over 100 measurable elements that shape wellbeing, performance and development across organisations.

We began by focusing on the tricky topic of PURPOSE. What this really means, why it's important, and some of the challenges in articulating it as well as creating teams where there is a shared sense of purpose.

As predicted, our conversation ran into a number of different topics including belonging, multi-generational workforces, burnout and team cohesion.

If you want to find out more about Luke and the work he is doing you can find him on LinkedIn and his website, and I recommend having a read of the white paper and academic paper if it's a topic you're interested in!

Hello and welcome to A Bit Of A Boost with me, George Anderson

I'm a wellbeing and performance coach, speaker and author and this podcast brings together guest experts, inspirational stories and ideas that I hope will you a bit of a boost.

My guest today is a long time client and personal inspiration of mine, Laura Chandler.

I've seen her overcome many challenges and completely transform her life over the last few years, but life has really been testing her in the last 18 month.

Laura's approach to adversity, challenges and change isn't just inspirational, it's also instructive. In our conversation she shares many of the strategies she has put to use to help her navigate some of the most challenging months of her life.
