EPISODE 12: Why it’s Important to Reflect with Your Team
Welcome to my final episode of 2023! Today, I’m going to explore the power of reflection within teams, and why it's so crucial as we bid farewell to this year. I'm excited to introduce you to my simple yet impactful 'Three A Framework' for year-end reflections:
Ask: We'll discuss how to engage your team in a reflective journey. It's all about asking the right questions to uncover the highs and lows of the past year. This step is about fostering a space for open dialogue and shared experiences, leading to deeper insights.
Acknowledge: Next, we'll talk about the importance of acknowledging your team's efforts and the insights gained from the reflection process. This isn't just about saying 'thank you'; it's about truly valuing the contributions and learnings of every team member, enhancing the team's morale and cohesiveness.
Act: Finally, we'll focus on turning those reflections into actionable steps. It's one thing to listen and another to act. I'll share strategies on how to effectively use the insights gathered to plan for a more successful and proactive year ahead.
In today's episode, we'll dive into each of these aspects to help you and your team make the most of this reflective exercise. Join me as we unlock the potential of reflection to foster growth, unity, and a clearer vision for the future.
