Opportunity In Power Of The New Year

Opportunity in the Power of the New Year

The start of a New Year often feels predictable — a season filled with resolutions, checklists, and promises to do better. For that reason, Lisa Lavender hesitated to offer yet another “New Year checklist” for restoration organizations. But after reflecting, she recognized something important: the New Year carries a unique kind of momentum. It is a natural reset point, a moment when both individuals and teams are more open to improvement, growth, and fresh beginnings.

For some, the New Year inspires personal goals. For others, it offers a symbolic clean slate. But for restoration companies, it can be something more powerful: a strategic opportunity. A chance to revisit processes, elevate standards, rally the team, and pursue meaningful organizational change with renewed energy.

Rather than dismissing the season as cliché, why not leverage its natural motivation? With intention, the New Year can become a catalyst — a time to sharpen vision, strengthen culture, and set the pace for the months ahead.

Lisa shares a list of practical considerations and actions your organization can take to fully harness this built‑in momentum and turn it into measurable progress. There is no better moment to inspire your team, realign your goals, and raise the bar for operational excellence.
