And that’s a wrap!
Cheers 2025 – what a year! As some of you know, I have taken a wee step back from so much work as I ended up making myself a tad unwell. The work / life balance has now firmly in place and I feel 100% better. Business wise, 2025 has been the most successful year yet. I’m very lucky in that each and every year since 2017 and the birth of Steven Talbot Consultancy, I’ve been able to say, “Yes! It’s a success!” Yes, even during lockdown! Oh, let’s not think about that, eh…
I’m taking my Christmas break now folks, so if you need me, you’ll notice that my out of office is on, I’ll be back, but I won’t be monitoring my emails. It is about time I took the advice that I chuck out to others. Now, isn’t it…? So, I’m switching off. I’m off to have a jolly good time. Tonight it’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ I haven’t been to the theatre since before lockdown. Ouch, I mentioned it again.
2026 is going to see me breaking new ground as I’m venturing really rather far away. With new clients in Devon, Salford, Manchester and beyond… Hello Australia…
The adventure continues!
Merry Christmas to all that celebrate it, have a jolly break (if you get one) and remember:
“Why do we depend so much on the material world to validate us? The chase for more, and the need to be recognised through our achievements and belongings, can hinder us from the real things, like time with those we love, time doing things we love ourselves and balance in our lives.”

Spend time with the people you love. Grasp every day and live in the present. Onward!
