As we round out the end of the year, we reflect on the year and paint the picture for what we would like the New Year to hold. As Maya Angelou has brilliantly stated: "I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better I do better."

Gianna was featured in Episode #22: What are you grateful for? and I’ve commissioned her again for this special year-end episode. I shared my "why" in Episode #22. I recalled something in the beginning of the year and that I had completely forgotten which is the impetus of this very show. It reminds me of a quote by Mark Twain: "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."

It's no surprise that the top episode of the year was Episode #19: Culture: Meet People Where They Are, with my guest, Craig Loundas. My friend Craig reminds us that "it's okay not to be okay" and to meet our co-workers, friends and family where they are, offering support. 

And so, listen in to Gianna's "Pledge of Kindness" that she generously shares with the Office Flip Flops community. 

Gianna is ten years-old and Student Council President for her school. The pledge she shares with us is something for us to live by and pay forward. She is wise beyond her years and her reminder to keep things simple is a great tool for all of us.
