Yes, dear friends, it is that time of the year. And what a year it has been.

This is the moment when we share our research planning, our hopes, our aspirations and our expectations. But most importantly, we do not assume we will be productive in 2026. We plan for that productivity.

This gig is fun, free, and building a community of citizens who write – to enable change. If you would like to see the methodology for the Whiteboard Soirée – here it is!

Whether you have a few ideas on a piece of paper or a whiteboard ready to be populated – you are so welcome to join us. It is a relaxed and fun gig just before Christmas. Here are the details.

When?: 10am, Dec 10, 2025 10:00 AM Auckland time. That is 8am on the East Coast of Australia.

For our friends around the world, remember that it may be December 9 for you. Make the time conversion to your location here – https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/?qm=1&lid=2193733&h=2193733&date=2025-12-10&sln=10-11&hf=1

And yes – as always – here is my whiteboard for 2026 🙂

I am so looking forward to seeing you! All my love and hopes to you for a powerful 2026. We’ve got this.
