Last year I released the first of these popular ‘reflect-along’ resources, designed for you to see how a particular tool is used in practice and to reflect along with me as we progress through the accompanying podcast episode. This year, I am sharing a resource all about defining YOUR own measure of success and reflecting on impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been a stand-out resource for many of my coaching clients this year, and I hope it’ll be a useful way for you to have a bit of fun at the end of the year, and try out something a little different. Use this episode to \u201creflect along\u201d with me as part of your run up to the holidays (and hopefully a well deserved break!) or as you prepare to begin the new year. <\/p>\n\n\n

This tool is inspired by a visual thought (by the always inspiring Liz and Mollie) about how we measure success, what makes it rewarding to work in our team or organisation and how we measure success and impact. It’s a great prompt to collate evidence of all you have achieved at the end of the year, and align what you have done with what’s important to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen along<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Find a cosy spot and get yourself a hot drink or take the episode outside and listen along as you walk.\u2002The important thing is to bring some curiosity to this exercise, and to be open to discovering something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find what’s important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I recently shared a post on keeping my own archive<\/a>, i.e. a list of things I have done, and in the spirit of festive list making, this is where we will start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The practice of making a list and adding new entries to it is useful in itself. You could probably use a tool to compile this kind of information for you, but there\u2019s great value in the act of processing what you have done and reflecting on it as you make the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get started, add literally anything. You could add a workshop you have run or an event you attended, or even books you\u2019ve read. You could add projects you have been involved with or led, or papers you have published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is not to worry whether something is worthy of being included, and to simply include everything. I find once you start making a list of everything, things quickly amount to more than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make your measure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are different categories you could add to your own chart, for example opportunities for professional development and learning. Good non-salary benefits or working on a healthy organisational culture. You could add opportunities to travel and having fun. Although you can simply conduct a thought experiment, this tool is more effective if you actually take a piece of paper or open up a digital document to create your own measure of success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Draw a circle;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. List what factors are important to you;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Mark out slices of the \u2018pie\u2019 according to importance. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Once you have your completed chart, you can use it to reflect on what you want more of in the year ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
