Reflection
Reflection can be done as an individual or in a group (doing it in a group increases the possibility to find different perspectives).
Reflection can can be done through a meeting, writing, conversation or quiet contemplation.
It's a valuable practice for personal and professional development, helping you gain deeper insights, make better decisions and grow as an individual.
