Happy New Year!
We trust that you’re easing back into work after the holidays and perhaps finding your inbox a bit overwhelming. If you’ve been part of our Tuesday’s community for a while, we want to say a big thank you.
And if you’re new here—welcome! We’re delighted to have you.
We’re P2Excellence, and I’m Nancy Vepraskas—Leadership Impact and Organizational Effectiveness Coach. Our passion is helping leaders like you create meaningful impact at work (and consequently in life) so you experience the joy that comes from a job well done.
We recently came across a beautiful thought:
“Great coaches change people who are changing the world.”
We love that sentiment and hope to embody it with you this year.

Our Focus for 2025
This year, we’ll be exploring 12 Critical Competencies for High-Impact Leadership.
Each month, we’ll delve into one of these areas:
- Emotional Intelligence
- Effective Communication
- Strategic Thinking
- Decision-Making and Problem-Solving
- Adaptability and Resilience
- Accountability and Integrity
- Inspiring and Motivating Others
- Coaching and Developing Others
- Conflict Resolution
- Innovation and Change Management
- Self-Care (Living a Whole Life)
- Self-Awareness and Continuous Learning
Why These? Why Now? Why You?
Why These: As our roles and businesses grow more complex, these core competencies help us stay grounded, consistent, and proactive. They form the backbone of effective leadership and ensure we’re ready to adapt to shifting demands.
Why Now: A new year is a prime opportunity to reset. By committing to development in these areas, we can hit the ground running with fresh perspective and renewed energy.
Why You: We believe every leader has a unique set of gifts. When we intentionally hone our skills and self-awareness, we not only lead more effectively but also experience greater joy and fulfillment in our work.
