Impact, Focus, and Transformation – My Three Pillars for 2025

2025 is here, and this year, my word is IMPACT. It’s more than just a guiding principle—it’s my commitment to focus, consistency, and joy as I step into a year of transformation, collaboration, and service.

IMPACT isn’t just a concept for me this year; it’s also an acronym that captures my purpose:

  • I – Inspire Transformation

  • M – Mentor Through Wisdom

  • P – Propel Women Forward

  • A – Align with Joy

  • C – Create Opportunities

  • T – Thrive Through Service

Let me take you through how this mindset is shaping my three key pillars for 2025: 𝐻𝑒𝓇 𝒯𝓇𝒶𝓃𝓈𝒻𝑜𝓇𝓂𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃, 𝒟𝓊𝒸𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝒢𝓁𝑜𝒷𝒶𝓁 𝐵𝓊𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝒮𝒸𝒽𝑜𝑜𝓁, 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝐸𝓁𝑒𝓋𝒶𝓉𝑒 𝐵𝓊𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓈𝓊𝓁𝓉𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎. These pillars represent my focus on creating meaningful change for the women and businesses I serve, while also cultivating growth, alignment, and joy in my own life.


1.         𝐻𝑒𝓇 𝒯𝓇𝒶𝓃𝓈𝒻𝑜𝓇𝓂𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃: Empowering Women to Step Into Their Power

Her Transformation is about empowering women to discover their potential, own their stories, and take action toward their dreams. It’s a personal passion project that aligns deeply with my purpose and brings me immense joy.

In 2025, my commitment to 𝐻𝑒𝓇 𝒯𝓇𝒶𝓃𝓈𝒻𝑜𝓇𝓂𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃includes stepping up into Women’s Network Australia to host two monthly events:

  1. Wisdom Well – Events aligned with monthly themes like leadership, growth, and mindset. These gatherings provide a space for women to learn, connect, and share their journeys.

  2. Empowered Perspectives – A platform where I interview inspiring female entrepreneurs. Through their stories, we celebrate resilience, innovation, and the power of community.

These events aren’t just about networking—they’re about creating spaces where women feel seen, heard, and empowered to make an impact in their own lives and communities.

Why it matters:
When women rise, we all rise. Her Transformation is my way of contributing to this collective growth by fostering empowerment, collaboration, and personal breakthroughs.


2.         𝒟𝓊𝒸𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝒢𝓁𝑜𝒷𝒶𝓁 𝐵𝓊𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝒮𝒸𝒽𝑜𝑜𝓁: Shaping the Leaders of Tomorrow

Education has the power to transform lives, businesses, and communities. Through my work with 𝒟𝓊𝒸𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝒢𝓁𝑜𝒷𝒶𝓁 𝐵𝓊𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝒮𝒸𝒽𝑜𝑜𝓁, I’m helping shape the next generation of leaders by providing them with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to innovate and thrive.

In 2025, my focus here is about consistency—continuing to deliver world-class education and mentorship that equips students to tackle real-world challenges with creativity and courage.

At Ducere, I’m inspired by the stories of transformation I see every day—students who come to us with a vision and leave ready to lead with purpose. My role allows me to support their journeys while aligning with my mission to inspire change on a global scale.

Why it matters:
By investing in education, we’re investing in leaders who will drive impact in their industries, communities, and beyond.


3.         𝐸𝓁𝑒𝓋𝒶𝓉𝑒 𝐵𝓊𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓈𝓊𝓁𝓉𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎: Creating Scalable Success for Entrepreneurs

Running a business can be overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. Through 𝐸𝓁𝑒𝓋𝒶𝓉𝑒 𝐵𝓊𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓈𝓊𝓁𝓉𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎, I help entrepreneurs move from chaos to clarity by focusing on strategy, systems, and scalability.

This year, my work at Elevate is all about:

  • Focus: Delivering services that align with my strengths and bring the most value to my clients.

  • Consistency: Staying committed to proven systems that create real results.

  • Impact: Helping businesses grow in ways that are sustainable, profitable, and aligned with their values.

Whether it’s building SOPs, implementing CRMs, or transforming workplace culture, my goal is to help my clients create businesses that thrive while giving them back the time and energy to focus on what matters most.

Why it matters:
When businesses succeed, they create ripple effects—jobs, innovation, and opportunities that uplift entire communities.


4.         Expanding My Reach Through Collaboration and Leadership

This year, I’m also stepping into expanded leadership roles that allow me to serve in new ways:

  1. LeadHERShip Global: Hosting the monthly LeadHERShip Roundtables, where we bring women leaders together to share insights, challenges, and strategies for growth. These roundtables are a hub for thought leadership and collaboration.

  2. Women’s Network Australia: As mentioned, I’ll host Wisdom Well and Empowered Perspectives events each month, aligning with the themes of transformation, growth, and empowerment.

These opportunities allow me to connect with incredible women, foster conversations that matter, and build communities that thrive on collaboration and shared wisdom.


5.         Living My Word: IMPACT

When I chose IMPACT as my word for the year, it wasn’t just about external results—it was about how I show up, how I align my actions with my values, and how I create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

Here’s how I’m living my word in 2025:

  • Inspire Transformation: Through mentorship, education, and empowerment.

  • Mentor Through Wisdom: Sharing my journey, insights, and experiences to guide others.

  • Propel Women Forward: By creating platforms that amplify women’s voices and achievements.

  • Align with Joy: Staying true to what lights me up and brings me fulfilment.

  • Create Opportunities: Building systems, connections, and programs that foster growth.

  • Thrive Through Service: Leading with purpose, passion, and a commitment to making a difference.


6.         A Commitment to Joy and Service

At the heart of everything I do this year is a commitment to joy. I’ve learned that the work that brings me the most joy is also the work that has the greatest impact. By focusing on my three pillars—𝐻𝑒𝓇 𝒯𝓇𝒶𝓃𝓈𝒻𝑜𝓇𝓂𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃, 𝒟𝓊𝒸𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝒢𝓁𝑜𝒷𝒶𝓁 𝐵𝓊𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝒮𝒸𝒽𝑜𝑜𝓁, 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝐸𝓁𝑒𝓋𝒶𝓉𝑒 𝐵𝓊𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓈𝓊𝓁𝓉𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎.—I’m not just building a career; I’m building a legacy of service, growth, and transformation.

2025 is a year of stepping up, showing up, and creating meaningful change. It’s a year of alignment, consistency, and focus. Most importantly, it’s a year of living with purpose and making an IMPACT—one connection, one conversation, and one transformation at a time.
