Looking Back and Leaning Forward - M2C2 2025

As 2025 wraps up, I’m feeling incredibly grateful and energized!

This year was full of meaningful conversations, teams willing to do the work, and leaders showing up with curiosity and courage. It was also a year that confirmed something I see again and again: when communication improves, everything else follows.

Communication was a top theme for 2025 - Check out some of the other highlights, and let’s take a peek at what M2C2 has planned for 2026!

🎉 2025 - At a Glance:

A few moments worth celebrating:

• Launched a new M2C2 tagline: Mindset. Motivation. Communication. Collaboration.

• Named a Top 10 Emerging Small Business in Alabama: Presented by the Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama and the Business Council of Alabama

• Partnered with incredible teams around leadership development, DISC communication, and collaboration

Still smiling about ALL of it!

More Mornings with M2C2!

We’re already dreaming up next year, with possible topics like:

• Using AI in practical, human-centered ways

• Managing team dynamics

• Communication skills for leaders at every level

Plus –You’ve been asking, and I’ve been listening. I’m working on a “virtual” leadership cohort for those who want to grow their leadership skills on their own schedule!

What I’m Reading Next:

I’m about to start Nice Girls Just Don’t Get It by Dr. Lois Frankel and Carol Frohlinger.

I recently attended a Negotiation Workshop with Carol Frohlinger through my Momentum Executive Leadership program in Huntsville and loved the research-backed approach to negotiation skills and tactics.

YOUR 2026 – Let’s Talk!

If you’re thinking about what’s next for your team, your leadership, or your organization, I’d love to connect.

Whether it’s a quick conversation, a workshop idea, or a “we’re not sure what we need yet” moment, that’s exactly where M2C2 can help.

Here’s to another year of learning, growing, and doing meaningful work together. Cheers!
