I jumpstart the new year with a Start2025Now Party in DEBcember. For the third year in a row, I have had the same panel: Chris Cherian, Analytics @ MoMA; Annie P. Ruggles, founder of Quirk Works Consulting and the Non-Sleazy Sales Academy; and business strategist and community builder Keith Spiro. This annual reminder that you actually get 13 months in a year – the Decembers overlap – is all about checking in and making plans.
Chris, Annie, and Keith shared their wins and challenges from 2024, along with their personal and professional goals, giggle projects, and themes for 2025. Happy DEBcember!
