Boss Your End of Year Speech in the Office

Your end of year speech in the office is also an opportunity to boost morale and set the mood for the new year. And yes, it is informal and should be another chance for questions, conversation, debate and…refreshments!

Your End of Year Speech: Make it Count

If you're bothered with the idea of an end of year speech, then worry not. Because there's an entire tradition of year end and New Year speeches. And your participation in that complete tradition is very welcome. Because it's expected. Your team wants to hear the state of play!

Now it's certainly true that politicians love an end of year speech, or perhaps a New Year speech. Let's note that Britain's current Prime Minister tried an end of year speech/ relaunch speech a week or so ago. Unfortunately it didn't hit the right notes.

However, your task is simpler. Your primary task is to just summarise the year gone, the achievements and distinct wins and then set out the objectives for the year ahead. Simple. Yes, it really is that simple, and, importantly, it's as relaxed as you want to make it.
