Retrospective Template

We naturally execute our projects, and our lives one day, one week, one month at a time similar to the “sprints” in an Agile project. What if we got better at pursuing our goals every week or every month? How powerful would that be and how successful would we be just a few months in the future? That is the goal of a retrospective, to continually assess and improve our performance throughout our projects. Use this template to complete your own retrospectives.

Silencing The Lies

Are you hearing voices? They might be telling you lies!

Every one of us has two voices inside us. The first voice is the one that comes from our mouth that other people can hear and can be a powerful tool to express ourselves.

The second voice is one that only we can hear. This voice exists only inside our head and makes continual commentary about us and everything around us; it is our inner self-talk. Our second voice can be a powerful ally when it serves as our inner cheerleader. Unfortunately, this voice can also be our biggest critic, undermining us at every turn.

This inner critic is not really you! The critic is just borrowing your voice without your permission. Then, in your own voice, it tells you terrible things that undermine your confidence and hold you back from greatness.

This exercise will help you tell this inner critic to shut up. It’s time to silence the lies.

Lessons Learned from 2020

Not to under-sell it, 2020 was an odd year and was not the year that I had planned. Like many people, I had a few wins, but they were quickly overshadowed by other events. At the end of the year, I looked back over all of the ups and downs and completed a personal 2020 retrospective. After some careful thought, I identified six big lessons that I have gleaned from 2020.

They tell you that at least you’re pretty,
with a tone that sounds like pity,
or maybe an awarding of a consolation prize.
For there’s unrecognizable pain in your eyes,
and lately you have no time to worry about your size.
Some tell you not to care what others think.
They don’t realize you often feel on the brink.
You quit caring about thoughts, just authentic feelings, a long time ago.
But, you had no clue what life would throw – to charge and heighten every part of you.
You keep doing what little you can,
Being a wife and mother, with a plan.
You’re getting accustomed to cleaning up the ashes,
After murders happen,
Babies perish,
People die,
Crowds watch,
and you turn into a roadside attraction.
All while people’s love quickly fades,
comes to light,
or just flashes…
