We have been taught a half truth. We have been taught that we learn from doing, from trying, from the experimenting. But, that’s not the whole truth. The whole truth is we learn from doing then on reflecting on what we did, re-thinking what we know and trying again.
To learn the most from this year you need to reflect on what you did. Try the 2018 Reflection Challenge.
Here’s my 2018 year end reflection:
1. What are 3 words that describe this year?
Amazeballs, successful, strengthening.

Way too many – that’s why the year was so amazeballs – Barcelona, Paris, Tofino, My Birthday Party!!

So many things: Barcelona, Paris, skydiving, taught 2 new courses, new clients….

6. What was the best way you used your time?
Working, connecting, relaxing, learning, reflecting.
7. What was the best choice or risk you took this year? And Why?
