I explain how reflecting helps us learn and make better decisions. We need to look at why we avoid it and the roadblocks to making it a habit. Reflecting doesn’t need to slow us down--it actually helps us get where we want faster. I offer ways to make reflection a habit and key questions to give yourself a structure for reflection. 

I explain how organizations can make reflection a habit: 

 • Decide what to stop doing

 • Clarify decision making processes

 • Ensure sufficient resources 

 • Take time outs from continual change 

 • Ask about the sources of failure 

 • Insist on learning from experiments 

 • Institute “after action reviews” 

Experiment: Career Reflection using focused questions: 

 • What made you take each job?

 • How did it fit your skills, interests, and motivators?

 • What values did it allow you to express?

 • What did you learn from each job?

 • What career goal were you pursuing at that time? 

 • What overall themes emerge?
