What are you learning about yourself?

We’re pros at reflecting on "lessons learned" in the workplace—analyzing how things went, what could’ve been better, and pulling out key takeaways. It’s almost second nature to ask, “What worked and what didn't?” after a big task or project wraps up.

But how often do we apply that same mindset to our own personal development?

✦ Scenario 1: Say you're in charge of a critical planning meeting that hundreds of employees have flown in for. Everything’s prepared to perfection, you're about to go on stage, and then...the tech fails. 🎤

You have two options—panic 😱 or stay calm 😌.

✦ Scenario 2: Imagine you’ve planned a huge celebratory dinner—recipes ready, table set, everything running smoothly. Then, you suddenly realize you forgot to set the oven timer and you accidentally burn the main dish. 🔥🥘

You can either stress over the mistake and let it ruin the evening or shrug it off, order takeout, and enjoy the time with your loved ones.

It’s in moments like these that we learn a lot about ourselves. Do we crumble under pressure or thrive in chaos? 🌪️ Do we get caught up in perfectionism or are we able to roll with the punches?

Every challenge is an opportunity for personal insights. And those insights? They lead to growth—both personally and professionally. 🌱

❓ So, ask yourself: What am I learning about myself today, this week, this month? And, how can I apply what I've learned to grow moving forward?
