Looking Back Through Self, Other, and System

By Ken Giglio, Principal of Mindful Leadership Consulting

2022 is half over. It’s a good time to pause and reflect and look back on the year so far before we dive into the second half. To help us gain perspective and learn from our experiences, I suggest we look back through the three lenses of Self, Other, and System. In this way, we can become more mindfully aware, and we give ourselves the best chance to make any needed adjustments to live and lead in productive and meaningful ways. Here are some questions to help us look back and reflect on the year up to now:

What have we experienced personally and professionally that has changed us, made us more aware of who we are? What are we noticing about our relationships? Through our interactions, what are we learning about ourselves and others? How are we reacting to the news of our day in the US and around the world? What are we drawn to and what do we want to avoid?
