Your Network Doesn't Have to Go Quiet In The Final Months Of The Year

It's already happening. People are protecting their calendars and pushing meetings into January so they can focus on wrapping up end-of-year projects and hit their targets.

​

But with two months left in 2025, you don't want to go quiet on your network and start from scratch in January when everyone's inbox is flooded with "Happy New Year, let's catch up!" messages.

​

The challenge? Staying visible without being pushy.

​

This time of year, it can be tempting to put your networking efforts aside until January, but if you do that, you'll miss some great opportunities to strengthen relationships and set yourself up for opportunities in the new year - when budgets refresh, new projects kick off, and hiring starts up again.

​

In this post, I'm sharing practical ways to stay connected with your network between now and December without adding to anyone's overwhelm (including your own).

​

And if you're looking to expand your circle before year-end, I would love for you to join me at one of our upcoming Peer Suite events and explore Peer Suite Founding Membership here.

​

​

From networking mornings to weekend walks, Peer Suite events make it easy to connect, share ideas, and meet inspiring women.

✈️ TRAVEL "Me-mooning" is the travel trend taking over. Forget waiting for the perfect travel companion - 45% of women are planning solo trips, 8% higher than 2024. These aren't lonely holidays; they're luxurious, self-love-filled adventures once reserved for couples.

​

🧠 WELLNESS "Sleepmaxxing" has hit 125 million views on TikTok, and it's not just another trend. We're finally focusing on getting proper sleep to boost overall wellness - and experts say it's about making the right lifestyle choices: movement, hydration, good breathing, nutrition, and boundaries with our devices. Forget the expensive sleep trackers; focus on the basics that actually work.

​

🚶‍♀️ MOVEMENT Walking clubs are exploding in popularity, with searches for "local walking groups" up 300% this year. It's no wonder our Women's Walk & Talk events are so popular - they combine the social connection everyone's craving with the mental health benefits of moving your body outdoors.

​

💼 WORK Women in the UK are more confident about their work than men (92% vs 82%), yet 40% of us still don't believe promotions are handed out equally. The disconnect is real - we know we're good at what we do, but suspect the system isn't rewarding us fairly. Time to document your wins and make sure they're impossible to ignore.

​

🚀 LEARNING Your career isn't a straight line anymore, with nearly three-quarters of Gen Z professionals expecting to change careers at least three times during their working lives. AI is transforming industries, and new working models are emerging constantly, meaning the ability to navigate change and learn continuously is critical.

Ready to Make Your Next Career Move?

As we head towards the end of the year, many of you are thinking about year-end reviews, salary conversations, and the career shifts you want to make in 2025.

​

With that in mind, November is the perfect time to work on your career plan before the December chaos hits. This is your window to get clear on what you want and create a plan to make it happen.

​

I'm opening up additional spots for 1:1 career strategy intensives and would love to support you with your next move. Whether you're preparing for a promotion conversation, planning a career pivot, or figuring out your next step, we'll work together to build a clear, actionable strategy that positions you for success.

​

Having pivoted from banking to travel to e-commerce, led cross-functional teams as a COO, founded and sold a travel company, and pitched my way into a role that didn't exist yet - I've navigated just about every career scenario you can imagine, and I'd love to help you navigate yours!
