“Taking time for reflection is probably the best investment you can make in your personal and professional development. It’s often said that we learn best from experience. But in truth we learn best from reflecting on experience. Reflection has significant benefits for improving our learning, mental and physical wellbeing, career resilience and our leadership skills.
It increases self-awareness and helps us make sense of the world. Reflection is a skill, a set of practices and above all an attitude of mind. It’s the very essence of Slow Learning. The challenge is to make reflection a habit, and grant ourselves and others permission to ask useful, perhaps surprising questions and to see things from new perspectives.”
