RESOURCE: Compassionate Reflection Tool
I spend a lot of time helping people to reflect.
As a psychologist, this covers the full range: from playing with puppets with five year olds to designing team days for leadership teams. As part of this work I have developed lots of frameworks and resources. The latest is a Compassionate Reflection tool.
A lot of my work is influenced by research into compassion but I also use these principles in my own life. Personally, I designed a check in process, which I use (and share) weekly. It helps me to structure my thinking about how work and life is going, which is then really useful for celebration and planning (although that process will have to be for another time). I have had a number of people asking if they could use the same check-in process. So, I thought it would be useful to create something which could help scaffold the process.
Voila, your new Compassionate Reflection tool. It has eight questions and can be done in about 20 minutes.
I would love to know how you get on with it, so feel free to send over examples of how you are using it (or general comments or questions etc).
If you are interested in being supported with reflective practice in a more in-depth way (personally, or as a team) then get in touch.
