Reset & Refocus – Defining Success Through Structured Reflection

About the Event

“Without reflection, we go blindly on our way.” – Margaret J. Wheatley

January is the perfect time to reset. But too often, we rush into goals without pausing to ask: What actually worked? What needs to shift? Reflection isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s how we define success, strengthen habits, and avoid repeating the same mistakes.

In this session of The Problem Solver’s Dojo, we’ll use structured reflection to set the tone for the year ahead. Together, we’ll explore the Plus/Delta method as a simple but powerful tool for looking back with clarity and moving forward with intention. We’ll revisit Leader Standard Work (LSW) as a rhythm to make reflection stick, and we’ll close by defining what success means for you and your team in 2026.

Then it’s your turn. You’ll practice reflection in real time, experiment with tools, and leave with one concrete idea you can test in Q1.
