Research shows that reflection is not a pause from performance—it's what increases it.
In fact, leaders who systematically reflect turn experience into better decisions and up to 20% higher performance than those who do not.
Join Anja Svetina Nabergoj for a session designed to turn reflection from a "luxury" into your greatest competitive advantage. This isn't about long retreats or hours of journaling; it’s about applied reflection—mastering micro-moments that improve your decision-making, strengthen your team’s dynamics, and clarify your vision.
What You’ll Gain:
- The 5-Minute Method: research-backed micro-reflection techniques that turn everyday experience into better decisions.
- Access to an AI reflection tool designed by Stanford d.school called Riff
- Failure & Success Frameworks: Tools to extract maximum learning from every outcome.
- Team Integration: Strategies to build a culture of reflection within your organization without adding "more work."
- Decisive Clarity: The ability to move from reactive "firefighting" to intentional, strategic action.
Who Should Attend:
Leaders at any level who want to move from reactive to reflective leadership, especially those feeling overwhelmed by the pace of change or complexity of decisions.
Cost:
$149
