Recently I've been thinking about how I practice self-reflection.

Here's why I think it's important for personal growth and peak performance.

I've been using self-reflection for over 25 years now. It's incredibly powerful. Sometimes the way my perspective changes is certainly transformational.

If you want to know how self-reflection has changed my performance, here are three big shifts:

↳ The habit of pausing before reacting.
🤔 This has allowed me to respond thoughtfully. I do this in both personal and professional contexts.

↳ Keenness to get a deeper understanding of others’ perspectives.
👥 This has led to better creative collaborations.

↳ A shift from a problem to outcome mindset.
🌱 This enables me to see challenges as opportunities for growth.

Self-reflection has helped me achieve new levels of performance, so why should you care about it

🚀 Here are some key benefits you might experience:

- Better mindset and state management for crucial collaborations.
- Clarity and reduced mental clutter leading to stress reduction.
- Handling your responses to unexpected changes.
- Connecting your daily activities with your long-term ambitions.
- Improved decision-making and evaluation of choice implications.

If you decide to start practicing self-reflection, let me know — I'd love to connect with you (and answer any questions you have getting started!).

Not convinced yet?

Let's put it to the test with a quick challenge:

1️⃣ Set aside 10 minutes a day for self-reflection.
2️⃣ Ask yourself:

3️⃣ Do this consistently for a week.

Give this a shot and see how it transforms your performance 🔥

Proposing value, not activity.

What inspired yesterday’s post about value? Well... I’d just been reading a proposal. Actually it was more like a situation diagnosis report and statement of work with a price at the end. Nothing like the investment business case it needed to be. That's something I’ve
