In this episode, I’ll share a simple, powerful process that takes just half an hour during this quiet time between Christmas and New Year’s. This process will set you up to make 2025 your best year yet.

What You’ll Discover Today

I’ll guide you through a 10-question coaching worksheet that I’ve shared annually for the past nine years. This worksheet is specifically designed to help you:

Reflect on the actions you took and the results you achieved in 2024.

Celebrate your victories and learn from challenges.

Set clear intentions for what you want to accomplish in the year ahead.

2025 is shaping up to be a chaotic year. Knowing exactly who you are and what you want will act as your North Star, guiding you and your family through whatever challenges arise.

Why Reflection Matters

Hello, I’m Dr. Dike Drummond, and I want to start with a quote:

“A life unexamined is not worth living.”

This sentiment speaks directly to the power of reflection and planning. Writing down your thoughts and intentions with pen on paper is a uniquely powerful act. Research shows that physically writing things down helps solidify your intentions and is the first step in creating your reality.

As a coach, I know that the quality of your life depends not on what you know, but on the quality of the questions you ask and the answers you seek.

For the past nine years, I’ve distributed this year-end breakthrough worksheet to help physicians like you set yourself up for success. This year’s version is called the 2025 Best Year Yet Breakthrough Process.
