What becomes possible when we self-reflect?
Frances Armes and I are this week having a different type of podcast this week, we are in conversation together as a Christmas reflection. Unlocking Conversations.
We talked about the ability to reflect on what we are up to rather than just being busy in an outward way, pushing out delivery and managing to do lists. We were in an inquiry centred around what becomes possible when we take time to reflect and look inward on ourselves.
We used the framework of Marshall Goldsmiths 6 daily questions, to shape our conversation and reflections, which are: -
1. Did I do my best to set clear goals today?
2. Did I do my best to make progress towards my goals today?
3. Did I do my best to find meaning today?
4. Did I do my best to be happy today?
5. Did I do my best to build positive relationships today?
6. Did I do my best to be engaged today?
And we added a 7th question,
7. Did I just get through the day.
Our conversation shifted between intention, being deliberate and how we can lose this when we just drive through actions. How many times do we take 5 minutes at the beginning of the day to be intentional during the day for our way of being as well as actions?
These questions help us to understand more about how we make meaning in our day. We hope that you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed the conversation.
