Want to boost Your Performance and Impact?  Adding Purpose to Reflection Impacts you in 4 Ways.

As we wind down 2024 many take time to think about how the year went and often wonder – how could I be better? How can the team perform better?

Being more purposeful in your reflection can shift from just reminiscing to a way to unlock deeper learning potential. Using what we at BecomeMore call growth questions (What went well? What could have gone better? What could be done differently?)

Why do this? The benefit is longer lasting that just “oh yeah, that’s a good idea” to boosting memory, problem solving, self-awareness and your overall performance….AND it’s backed by science!

1. Enhanced Memory and Understanding: Reflecting on new information strengthens neural connections, improving memory and increases learning by 23%.¹
2. Improved Problem-Solving: By analyzing past experiences, we identify patterns, recognize recurring challenges, and develop more effective problem-solving strategies. Leaders who engage in regular reflection increase decision-making quality by 5% and a 10% improvement in team performance.²
3. Increased Self-Awareness: Reflection allows for more introspection which allows for better understanding of our strengths, weaknesses, learning styles, and motivations. This self-knowledge fuels growth and a 15% increase in emotional intelligence and a 20% improvement in self-regulation.³
4. Enhanced Performance: Reflection directly translates into better performance when you pair this with identification and implementation changes.  The research shows a 17% increase in job satisfaction and a 12% improvement in overall career success.⁴
