Want to reflect?
Remember reflection is how you turn experience into momentum. This tool is your thinking space-minus the post-it chaos.
You don't need courageous conversations or radical rethinks. Our conversation tools help leaders have simple conversations about how, together, the team can get better and better.
Before you go ....
Take a minute. Not for us, for you.
What made you nod?
What made you wince?
That’s where the magic lives.
If something clicked today, don’t let it stay a passing thought. Scribble it down. Say it out loud. Try it tomorrow, even if it’s messy. Especially if it’s messy.
Oh, and if someone popped into your head while listening? That’s not random. Send this their way. Share the episode. Share the fire.
And finally, don’t forget your Pocket Power-Up. Because bold moves start with tiny, intentional ones. We made this bit for the you-who-takes-action.
