As we close out 2024, I want to point our minds toward the wins. What you learned, what impact you made, how you grew, etc. You all know it's one area I like to be intentional and savor.
Last week, my own coach just elevated the process for me by 1. recognizing something I was unknowingly doing and making it explicit, 2. memorializing it with a powerful quote.
We had just worked through a meeting I led, and I had reflected on both the things that went well and the things that needed improving next time (I'm also a big fan of "reflecting on" to "reflect in" down the road.)
Overall, my energy level was high about our progress as a team in processes, actions, and dynamics, among other items.
I spontaneously reviewed with her the processes I went through both before and in the meeting - what intention I'd set, communication approaches, and the mindset.
After my review, I was proud that I've grown in my ability to celebrate the wins instead of ruminating only on negative assumptions - even without prompting. I shared that with my coach.
She pointed out:
"You did more than celebrate the wins, Tonya. Celebrating the wins is one thing. Reflecting on what made it possible, makes it repeatable."
Boom. Big wisdom nugget there for you. Enjoy!
