January is the perfect time to reflect, refocus, and set our intentions for the months ahead. At BTI, we believe that growth, both personal and professional, starts with clarity of purpose.
This year, we invited our team to share their New Year Intentions. Intentions go beyond checklists and deadlines. They’re about mindset, direction, and focus—guiding us toward who we want to be and how we want to show up, both at work and in life in 2025.
Parveen Dhupar
My theme for 2025 is GIVE. GET. GO. It’s all about giving my best, getting what matters most, and going boldly toward a year filled with growth, connection, and joy. This year, I’m focused on living with intention—whether it’s giving time and energy to meaningful relationships, getting stronger through dance, yoga, and fitness, or going all-in on opportunities that inspire growth and creativity. I’m committed to nurturing connections, celebrating milestones, and creating memories that matter—both personally and professionally. For me, 2025 is about showing up, standing out, and making it count. Let’s give, get, and go!
Ritu Dhupar
For 2025, I’m focusing on creating more balance, joy, and alignment in my life. That means letting go of commitments that no longer resonate, so I can make space for fresh opportunities that feel meaningful and exciting. I’m prioritizing activities that bring me happiness—like playing pickleball—because I believe fun is just as important as productivity. I’m also putting a sharper focus on my health and well-being with smarter nutrition and regular exercise to feel my best.
Family time is a big priority too. I’m looking forward to deepening connections with loved ones, creating lasting memories, and taking trips that allow me to explore new places and experiences with my mom. For me, 2025 is about growth, joy, and connection—living intentionally and celebrating each moment.
Srujani Chand
In 2025, I’m focusing on well-being, inside and out. I’m excited to get back into Zumba, not just for fitness, but to reconnect with the joy that comes from movement. Giving back has always been close to my heart, and this year, I’m making it a priority to re-engage in community support activities that create a positive impact. My goal is to grow stronger physically, emotionally, and through meaningful contributions to causes I care about.
Danny D’Amario
This year, I’m bringing more fun and energy into my life! For 2025, I want to get out and attend more 90’s/00’s-themed dance parties (because who doesn’t need a little nostalgia and rhythm to keep life exciting?). It’s about having fun, staying active, and enjoying the moments that make us smile.
Shashi Ghai
For 2025, my focus is on health, travel, and giving back. I’m committed to improving my physical well-being while creating time for travel—exploring new places and new experiences. Giving back continues to be a core part of my goals, and I’m excited to stay actively involved as a volunteer Run Director for the CIBC Run for the Cure – Richmond Hill. This year is about growth, adventure, and contribution.
Thera-lee Rego
In 2025, my goal is to refocus on health and fitness. I want to start working out again, building habits that keep me feeling strong and energized. It’s about taking small steps toward big results, and creating routines that make well-being a natural part of my lifestyle.
Emily Taraborrelli
This year is about exploring my roots and expanding horizons. In 2025, I’m excited to travel to Italy, reconnect with family, dive deep into my heritage, and celebrate the beauty of where I come from.
Shelly Branch
For 2025, I’m prioritizing balance, health, and quality time. I want to focus more on exercising, not just for health, but for enjoyment. I’m also carving out more time for family and friends, doing the things we love most. This year I want to stay active, create memories, and embrace joy.
Jeffrey Kim
This year I am all about support, strength, and consistency. I want to focus on helping my wife with her business management goals. I also plan to get back into the gym with the same energy and dedication I had before COVID. It’s about showing up, staying committed, and building momentum.
Christine Kao
This year I am excited to expand my horizons. My goals include completing a book series, taking up a new sport, and making more time for travel. This year’s theme is learning, moving, and exploring new experiences.
Brittany Zies
My word for 2025 is “presence.” This year, I want to be fully engaged in each moment, whether it’s work, relationships, or personal growth. Instead of focusing on everything at once, I’m committing to being intentional and showing up wholeheartedly for what matters most. After all, the present moment is all we truly have.
As we step into 2025, these intentions remind us that growth begins with clarity, purpose, and action. Whether it’s prioritizing health, strengthening connections, or pursuing exciting opportunities, the BTI team is ready to make 2025 a year of meaningful progress and lasting impact.
What are your intentions for 2025? Let’s give, get, and go!
