Farewell 2020 and Welcome to the New Year 2021! Lisa McLeod, is an author and keynote speaker on sales leadership, culture and customer engagement. I was introduced to her through PWH® and have followed her ever since. I subscribe to the McLeod & More email and once again, she has made me think differently. I’m choosing to follow her lead. She says, “If 2020 has taught us anything it’s this: Life is precious, and once a moment is gone, you can’t get it back.” It’s true. As tough as this year has been, I have been forever changed by it. The awesome, positive interactions I’ve experienced with others remotely or in person this year will be memories I never want to forget. With that, here are some food and drink ideas for winter celebrations in the New Year. Enjoy!
