🧊 Melting the Ice: October 2025
October is about turning systems into sustainable rhythms that close the year strong.
As we move through Q4, many leaders feel that quiet tension between finishing well and starting fresh. But the truth is — you don’t need to overhaul everything to move forward.
Small, steady habits create far more lift than big, rushed efforts.
When you anchor your week with reflection, action, and celebration, you build momentum that lasts beyond December.
❄️ This Month’s Icebreaker
Implementation isn’t about willpower — it’s about rhythm.
We started the month building Client Profitability Scorecards and action plans to improve profitability and grow capacity. By reviewing each client’s contribution, my clients gained a fresh, objective perspective.
With one client, we re-priced a long-term customer and discovered they were receiving more than $20K in “free” services each year. Quite the eye-opener — and definitely time to re-visit that service agreement!
That clarity made the choices simple, and the next steps flowed naturally.
This straightforward measurement has now become the foundation for implementing a more defined pricing strategy going forward.
This month, I’m inviting you to do the same:
👉 Choose one client and complete a full re-pricing exercise. What would you charge if they were new to you today?
👉 Curious about the Client Profitability Scorecard? Watch this short video: Client Profitability Scorecard
Progress multiplies when you notice it.
🔮 What’s Coming Up Next Month
Conversations in Coaching:
As we head into the holiday season, it’s time to reduce the intensity and intentionally schedule downtime. The goal? To start the new year with fresh energy — fueled by happy memories, time with family and friends, and hobbies that bring you joy.
We’ll also be updating goals: deciding what’s in, what’s later, and what’s gone forever.
Life Outside the Ice ☀️
Building hobbies for balance. With many of us spending more time indoors, how will you use that time? Remember — your life doesn’t stop just because it’s cold outside.
For me, I’ll be splitting my outdoor/indoor time between sledding with the dogs and Cribbage Club.
Because having a life outside the ice brings momentum and inspiration back to your work.
