183 -5 Steps to Reflect on Your Year—Individually, as a Team, and as a Leader
Episode 183

5 Steps to Reflect on Your Year—Individually, as a Team, and as a Leader As we wrap up the year, it's time to slow down, look back, and evaluate how we showed up—personally and professionally. In this episode, we use a simple aviation-inspired framework to guide meaningful reflection: The 5-Step Year-End Reflection Plan Your Flight What was your plan going into the year? Did you set goals, a resolution, or a "word of the year"? Brief How did you align yourself and your team before execution? Did everyone understand the mission and expectations? Fly How did the year actually go? How consistently did you execute? How did you track progress? Debrief Where did you deviate from the plan? What impacted execution—for better or worse? Lessons Learned What insights are you taking forward? What needs to be adjusted now? What should be repeated or removed? This framework helps you do two things: (1) Reflect honestly, and (2) Build a stronger plan heading into the new year. Walk through these steps yourself, and then share the process with your team. Reflection is the first step to intentional leadership.
