Year end self reflection tips
2024 year end is fast approaching and many are taking stock of the year to date. Others may feel the pressure or the need to do the same.
Reflections will be shared and many leaders will speak about a challenging year with multiple global headwinds. Some will speak of a strong business performance, enabled by a great team, despite a tough operating environment.
A few will also share progress made with regards to the client and employee experience which is absolutely crucial.
They will say their Thank You(s) and encourage you to take a break and enjoy the holidays with your loved ones, while they look forward to the new year with renewed hope and confidence in their teams.
Something more or less elaborate than the above but certainly along these lines, right?
Well, instead of just reading their messages (or not reading it) please see this as a prompt to check in with yourself
How are you feeling as you reflect on your own 2024 performance against your personal and professional goals?
Did you find fulfilment and a sense of purpose as you invested yourself in delivering on the goals that your organisation had set for / with you?
If not, please schedule some time with a professional coach to unpack this

In the meantime, here are 10 tips to use in your own self reflections, to support you to finish 2024 mentally strong and ready for next year:
💡 What are you grateful for this year? ALWAYS START WITH GRATITUDE. Make a list or do voice recording of these gratitude items
💡 Who did 2024 see you becoming? ie How did you evolve during the year?
💡 What have been your biggest achievements / happiest moments?
💡 Of the things that you achieved, what items had you pre planned. Check off these items and savour the sense of fulfilment
💡 Of your achievements, recognise the items that were unplanned and purely the result of opportunity meeting readiness, or of requests or circumstances Acknowledge how you rose to the challenge and what you learnt about yourself from those experiences?
💡 Think about the opportunities to excel or to deliver a positive impact (planned or unplanned) that you missed. What could you have done differently? Take notes
💡 Transport yourself to a ‘virtual reality’ of December 2025, what would you like to log as your 2025 achievements? What enablers do you need? What obstacles do you need to remove?
