It's Christmas 2024, and as the year draws to a close, I’m preparing to embark on a new adventure. Over the past three and a half years, I’ve had the privilege of growing a team and working on some incredible projects—experiences for which I will be forever grateful. As I step into my new role, I carry with me countless lessons learned. Among them are a few standout pieces of wisdom that have resonated deeply and are worth sharing: Dave Devine OAM – "Don’t forget the human aspect." This insight truly hit home. In the heat of the moment, it’s easy to lose sight of the human impact behind our actions and decisions. While business-driven choices are crucial, it’s just as important to remember the people who are affected by them. Chris McCulloch, CSM – "Just Be Better (JBB)." In everything you do, strive for improvement. If spending an extra five minutes leads to a better outcome, take the time. If investing a bit more upfront saves heartache later, why not? While there are always limits, it’s worth considering what you can do to JBB. Berndt Josef Wulf – "F’em." If you knew Berndt, you’ll understand the sentiment. For me, the takeaway is about recognizing when it’s time to walk away. Don’t pour time and effort into a fruitless endeavour. Consider yourself and those close to you when making decisions. So here’s to 2025—let’s see where it takes us!

Great reflection Marcus. Life is one big learning lesson for all of us and if we don’t take away the positives and learn from the negatives then we are wasting the one thing we all would like more of and that is time.
