The end of the year is a time for reflection, gratitude, and planning. With our inboxes quiet and our schedules free of meetings, we can afford to take a moment and think about what we achieved and what’s next.
Our 2025 Year in Review Workshop took place on December 18th. If you are a community member, you can watch the recording here. If not, join the community here.
On this page, you’ll find a simple annual review template and some examples for inspiration.
