Wishing your loved ones and you a year when your best stories are written.
In one of my favourite non-fiction books, “Influence” by Robert Cialdini, he speaks about seven levers of influence—but today’s story is anchored in just one: Reciprocity.
This is a deeply human story. One that restores faith. And I couldn’t think of a better way to begin the year.
I hope you enjoy the story
As leaders step into a new year, here’s a question worth pondering on:
What is the one thing you value the most in your professional life—and under what circumstances would you be willing to put it at risk for a purpose larger than yourself?
Because that’s often where credibility is earned, trust deepens and influence quietly grows.
2026 is a blank page.
I hope you choose to write a courageous story in it.
See you next Saturday.
