In my previous writings, I talk a lot about the benefits of engaging in constructive self-reflection. In my Personal Planning Guidebook, which is a free download on my website, the ability to self-reflect is an integral part of the personal planning process. But what is self-reflection and how can you get the most from it? We’re going to discuss the art of self-reflection over the next two weeks. Today, we’ll focus on the pre-conditions for successful self-reflection, and next week we’ll get into specific recommendations for self-reflection sessions.
