Setting goals is a lot like driving a car.

And for those listeners wanting to go deeper, Andrew provides an outline for self-reflective awareness (SRA), which is a ‘meta-cognitive’ ability that involves thinking about and reflecting on your own mental processes. “People with a strong SRA are able to generate a self-narrative that is complex, clear, and multifaceted. They are capable of communicating in a way that allows others to have a much better understanding of who they are and where they are coming from”."Reflect upon your blessings of which every man and woman has plenty; not on your lost misfortunes, of which we all have some." - Charles Dickens.In this episode Andrew and Angela Discuss:1:45 Intro and reason for recording this podcast5:07 The science behind reviewing goals7:20 Specific Rear View examples with Angela and Andrew10:00 7 Areas to look back on41:23 Angela's example from blowing up to totally showing up47:00 Going deeper with Self-Reflective Awareness (SRA) Use Code "PIPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/Learn more about Andrew and Performance Intelligence: https://performanceintelligence.com/Find out more about Andrew's Keynotes : https://performanceintelligence.com/keynotes/Follow Andrew May: https://www.instagram.com/andrewmay/If you enjoy the podcast, we would really appreciate you leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Google Play.
