1:1 Complete Mapping
As professionals we tend to get stuck focusing on what's next... That moves the goalposts and never lets us feel like we've done well. Whereas, reflecting on your growth refills your confidence, tunes you into gratitude and inspires you to keep thriving. That is what you did for me yesterday! I slept well last night in a mode of ease and rose in gratitude this morning.
