Reflection is the main purpose of this episode. We look back and contemplate what was, and with that in mind, we look forward to what we might do differently next time. Doing that allows us to ‘hear’ our own thoughts and to focus on what we say and feel. This is extremely important because it helps us grow and understand each other better.
11 Reflection questions to ask yourself
-
what are your first thoughts about this overall experience? Are they mostly positive or negative?
-
If positive, what comes to mind specifically? Negative?
-
What were some of the most interesting discoveries you made about yourself while working on this project?
-
What were some of my most challenging moments and what made them so?
-
What is the most important thing you learned personally?
-
What most got in the way of my progress if anything?
-
How well did you and your team communicate overall?

-
What would you do differently if you were to approach the same problem again?
-

-
How can we better support and encourage each other in the future?
The reason I chose for us to reflect rather than just carry on doing things as we have always done them. Is to question, in a positive way, what we are doing and why we are doing it and together we decide whether there is a better or more efficient way of doing it in the future because it provides the opportunity to step back and take a look at what our work means to us
