Creating change within our lives or work can be difficult. As a Cultivator, you know *in theory* that the route to change is often winding, with many stops to regroup and strategize along the way.

What if instead, you chose to look beyond that moment of change and celebrate the ways you changed course?

As Cultivators, we deal in the difficult. To make a change within an organization, you can’t give up when the going gets tough. And sometimes, let’s face it…the going gets really tough. To make it through the challenges we face at work and beyond, we often need to hone our tenacity.

In early December, something happened on Slack that caused the whole of Team Cultivate to drop what they were doing and pay attention. What happened? Spotify Wrapped, of course. In a growing thread, we shared our top artists, songs, podcasts, genres, and in that sharing, we got to know each other a little bit better.
