Look Around Your Christmas Party: The Most Expensive "Spot the Difference" Game You’ll Ever Play
Let’s be honest. We all know what’s coming.

The DJ will be playing a remix of "Last Christmas" that nobody asked for. You’ll be nodding politely while your Head of Sales explains his "revolutionary" Padel strategy for 2026. But while everyone else is focused on the bit

Your Confidence Isn't Hiding. You Just Haven't Built It Yet.
