The final stretch of the year can feel heavy. People are proud but tired, focused yet uncertain. IC can make this moment lighter.

‍

1. Keep It Simple
‍
Encourage reflection through quick prompts:

• “This time last year, I     didn’t know I could…”
• “One moment that shaped my     year was…”
• Small reflections build     perspective and calm.

‍

2. Bring Closure

‍
A short wrap-up post or note from leadership helps people feel seen. It also clears confusion about what’s done and what’s next.

3. Recognize Clearly

‍
Go beyond “thank you.” Tell teams exactly what they achieved and why it mattered. The more personal it feels, the more lasting it becomes.

Ask your teams to share one moment worth remembering. Use their stories in your year-end messages to remind everyone how far you’ve come together.
