In this final episode of How to Strive’s mini-series on Neil Mullarkey’s Seven Steps to Improve Your People Skills, Nick explores the essential and often overlooked skill of leaving well.

Drawing on Neil’s insights from the stage, business, and psychology, we unpack why endings matter, how the final moments of an interaction, meeting, or relationship shape how it’s remembered. From the Peak-End Rule explored by Daniel Kahneman to practical advice on closing conversations, meetings, and connections with intention, this episode helps you finish strong and leave the right lasting impression.

Discover how to create closure, follow up meaningfully, and ensure the “aftertaste” of every interaction reflects trust, gratitude, and growth.

Because how we end something says as much about us as how we begin.

In this episode, Nick explores how journaling can become a powerful daily tool to help you strive. 

Nick breaks it down into three key benefits:

1. Clarity – Understanding yourself more deeply and spotting patterns that shape your growth.
2. Direction – Turning reflection into clear intentions that keep you focused and accountable. The tiny steps that take you a thousand miles. 
3. Resilience – Building emotional strength, vocabulary, processing challenges, and celebrating wins.

This isn’t about writing for the sake of it, it’s about creating space to lead yourself forward with purpose.

Whether you’re just starting or want to level up your reflection practice, this episode will help you make journaling a meaningful part of your striving journey.
