Reflecting on success
This December at RWC we are taking time to reflect on 2022. Reflection can be seen as one of those things we don’t have time for, but actually thinking about how far we’ve come can be important for us to move forward and create for successes. According to Jennifer Porter writing in the Harvard Business Review: “Reflection gives the brain an opportunity to pause amidst the chaos, untangle and sort through observations and experiences, consider multiple possible interpretations, and create meaning. This meaning becomes learning, which can then inform future mindsets and actions. For leaders, this “meaning making” is crucial to their ongoing growth and development.”
It’s a generalisation, but often when we begin to coach our clients we find that they are very good at beating themselves up about not doing things, and not so good at celebrating their successes, however small these are perceived to be. Having a victory board to record these wins is a great way of finding motivation and silencing that inner critical voice that can undermine our planning.
We love a good Peter Drucker quote! - ‘Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.’
We’d like to share our successes of 2022 with you, and we would love it if you would share yours with us!
