Often, we plug away at our game, our job, our relationships without stopping to assess any corrections we could or might make. A bit like being in the trenches, head down, without ever coming up for air, and to see things as they are from some distance.

Moments of reflection, whether self-generated or fostered by another, are gold. Look at any shining light in any field and the very high chances are that they reflect regularly.

Reflection itself is easy – all you need are the right questions:

What are my/your strengths?
How well are these strengths emerging (in your particular context)?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much of my/your potential is being seen?
What steps or actions will increase the visibility of my/your strengths or potential?
When will I/you take these steps?
Who can help hold me/you accountable?

Regular use of these, or any vision or solutions-focused questions, will help you tremendously towards your true potential.
