Your First Week of the Year
Dear Uncommon Leaders,
We hope you all had a great New Year and ready to start strong during the first full week of 2026. 👏👊
Make it a great one and be intentional in all you do this week!
This Week's Question:
How will you use Week 1 of 2026?
This Week's Challenge:
There’s only one first week in every year. Make it count.
How we start anything often sets the tone for how we finish—whether it’s the first day of a new restaurant, the first shift with a new team member, or the first rehearsal with a new band. The beginning matters.
Start strong. Start clear. Start intentional.
You have a fresh page in front of you—and what you write this week can shape the momentum you carry all year long.
Your challenge this week:
Decide what tone you want to set for your leadership, your culture, and your mindset in 2026.
Then take the first step toward living it out.
Let this be the year you lead with clarity, courage, and consistency—the year you choose to be Uncommon on purpose.
Thank you for letting me walk with you through another year. Let’s make 2026 our most impactful one yet.
