The Art of the Personal Retrospective

05/09/23 • 25 min

How are you doing? In Life? With your goals? In this episode, we'll explore a useful ritual for resetting your life and goals based on deliberate reflection...the retrospective. We all get stuck sometimes, but we rarely create time and space to examine what is working well, not working well, and determine our next steps. Join me for this short episode where I outline a 15 minute format with tools and resources to create your own mini-retrospective.
