Review, Reflect and Plan
YOUR GUIDE TO CLOSING THE YEAR
WHAT IS IT?
This is a powerful self-coaching tool that:
guides you through reflections on the past year
helps you sift out the learnings and insights from all that you have experienced, and
sets the direction for the year ahead
Think of it as zooming out to a 10,000-foot view of your life — like stepping into a hot air balloon. From this elevated perspective, everything becomes clearer.
WHY DID I CREATE IT?
When running my business, I used to crash out of one year and into the next without pausing to take stock and learn from the huge range of experiences and challenges I’d faced. I missed vital learnings, and failed to celebrate the wins, or to thank the people who’d contributed.
Discovering the Annual Review process was a game changer. It gave me perspective and gratitude, and the confidence to tackle the year ahead with clarity and intention.
This booklet has become the cornerstone of our Campfire meetings - setting out our stall for how we would like to be held to account by fellow Campfire members.
HOW IT WORKS
Print it off and find a quiet place, undisturbed, to spend a couple of hours working your way through the booklet. If you want to, split it into two sittings: a review of last year; and plotting the year ahead.
