Listen, we can only weather squalls like the one we expect this year when we&#8217;re a tight team, and everyone knows they&#8217;re a valued part of the crew.<\/p>\n<p>Now more than ever, it&#8217;s critical to create the culture that will help keep you afloat through this upcoming (financial) low pressure system.<\/p>\n<p>Okay enough with the sailor metaphors, lol, but I will leave you with a little bit of silver to line those looming storm clouds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-956 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mymedwellness.com\/Medwell_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG20221231210338-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mymedwellness.com\/Medwell_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG20221231210338-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mymedwellness.com\/Medwell_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG20221231210338-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mymedwellness.com\/Medwell_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG20221231210338-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mymedwellness.com\/Medwell_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG20221231210338-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mymedwellness.com\/Medwell_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG20221231210338-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For New year\u2019s eve I was with a dear friend on his boat in Sydney Harbor watching the fireworks over the opera house.
