Episode notes
Run A Retrospective After Experiments
- Use the Agile retrospective questions: what went well, what did we learn, what would we do differently, and what still puzzles us.
- Run retros after experiments or projects to surface improvements without personal defensiveness.
Use AI As A Reflection Co‑designer
- Use AI as a collaborative coach by prompting it to adopt expert personas and co-design reflection exercises or tools.
- Combine AI output with your own priorities to create hybrid, tailored reflection workflows.
Conduct An Energy Audit
- Do an energy audit across work, personal life and family listing what energized you, what drained you, what gave you flow, and what you avoided.
- Compare notes with a partner to surface patterns and external observations about each other's energy.
