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.
