SHOW NOTES
It’s our last episode of the year. We get to talk about reflection. Reflection is a huge part of Project Based Learning. John Maxwell said, “Experience isn’t the best teacher, evaluated experience is the best teacher.” It’s possible to do the wrong thing over and over and never learn from it.
When you take the time to reflect, you can learn from the experience. I also want to thank everyone for listening and please share this podcast. Become the person who is known for sharing great resources. I also talk about having gratitude and thanking those people you appreciate. Focus on the gain, not the gap, and have a wonderful year!
Episode Highlights:
[01:47] Being on the hamster wheel without reflection can burn you out and stifle improvement.
[03:01] Look back on this last year or semester and write down highlights. Have a gratitude journal.
[04:57] Who are the people in your life that you are grateful for? Send them a note and tell them you appreciate them.
[07:39] We want to focus on the gain, not the gap.
[09:54] What will you be grateful for at the end of the year? Write down in first person the goals and people that you are grateful for at the end of the future year.
[12:48] Reach out to potential mentors and experts who have something to share. If they don’t have time, reach out to someone else.
[14:40] Relaunch your vision. All Beginnings are hopeful.
