Well, Hoda, I can't compete with those accomplishments of yours, but starting with the professional, this year for social impact leaders around the world has also been unprecedented and not altogether in good ways. So it's part of the privilege that we have to advise CEOs and boards on how to navigate some of that turmoil.

We have had the great good fortune of being asked to support some of the largest organizations in the global development, advocacy and philanthropy space. So that's been fascinating and humbling. And we'll talk a little bit about some of those issues, I think, over the next 30 minutes or so.

In the rest of my Russell Reynolds life, clearly Redefiners has been a new experience and it's been fantastic to work with you. Hoda and a little bit with Clark and Emma on that. And in my personal life, the West Cork History Festival at 2024 was a great success.

And the memory that I will hold forever is watching my nine-year-old son klezmer dancing with Professor Margaret McMillan, who's in her early 80s. And the two of them were the most improbable dance partners, but it's a lovely image that we have shared since.

That's amazing, Simon. Thank you for sharing. And it's been absolutely wonderful sharing the stage, the podcast stage with you over this last year. And it sounds like a lot has happened for us in 2024 around the world with global leaders throughout the year. And all I have to say is, wow, what a year.

The term unprecedented gets thrown out a lot and maybe overused these days, but I think it truly applies to many of the challenges leaders have faced this year in 2024. Yeah.

I think that's right, Hoda. It has been an extraordinary year, and in lots of dimensions, it's been unprecedented. If we start with the geopolitical situation in which leaders find themselves, sadly, the war... between Ukraine and Russia continues. There are very little signs of that ending in the very near future. In the Middle East, we see conflict in Gaza and Israel.
