Reflective Practice

The Institute offers introductory and refresher sessions for organisations or practitioners wishing to introduce regular reflection into their working practice. The benefits of reflective practice include:

• Better decision-making
• Improved team communication
• And refreshed motivation.

At Craighead we are realistic about the pace of many people’s working lives and we try to offer a menu of options that suit different situations. With practice, reflective practice tools can be drawn upon when needed in the moment, without having to wait for a long stretch of time that may never turn out to be available.

We recently delivered a session to a team in a national third sector organisation, all of whom opted to stay for an optional afternoon to try out some of the approaches.

A typical session includes:

• Why reflect?
• Tools for individual reflection – selecting what suits you
• Introduction to principles and practice of group reflection and action learning
• Reflecting in action – tips before you jump in!
• Team action learning set
• Option to facilitate action learning set and feedback
