2021. I've been asking myself over the last week what it is that I most want from 2021. There are numerous potential responses to that question.

I want certainty, but in the current local and global environment I can't get that. What I can do is continue to take a deep breath and be agile, responding to change as it occurs.

I want Donald Trump immediately removed from office, but I can't control the strange and sad animal that the US has become. What I can do is stop watching and absorbing the distress and frustration of the situation.

I want my team to feel like they can achieve anything, but they have to be the ones to embrace that they can. What I can do is give them the platform from which to dive off.

I want Tender Plus to be successful and to continue to grow and thrive, but there are no guarantees. What I can do is continue to engage genuinely with our marvellous clients, to support my team to meet the challenges that tenders throw at us every day and to employ extraordinary people.

So really, it doesn't matter what I want from 2021, because it all comes down to my approach.

I will set each goal and invent the way to achieve it. I will face each challenge with a positive mindset and the confidence that I can meet it. I will acknowledge that I can achieve more with great people around me than I could ever achieve on my own. I will take the positives from every challenge or opportunity. I will wear my heart on my sleeve and act with kindness in every interaction.

And if I do that, then bring on 2021!
