    What is Reflection?

    It's a way of not doing the same thing, the same way; but always expecting better results (the classic definition of managerial insanity). It is a:

    1. Mental process allowing you to monitor your behavior.

    2. Method for determining what's working and what's not. 

    3. Way to monitor practice to keep improving it.

    4. Learned process accelerating the drive to mastery.

    It's true, most people DON'T LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE and they practice a skill, but SHOW NO IMPROVEMENT OR SLOW IMPROVEMENT. The reason why? They don't use reflection. At very powerful technique that's rarely taught in universities (see story below). 

    Learning reflection in this online course will help you to:

    • Not make the same mistake again,
    • Learn from experience, and
    • Enhance practice,

    Reflection is a learnable method to determine what's working and what's not.

    A Personal Story On The Importance of Reflection

    To my lasting regret, understanding of reflection came much too late in life. What happened was this.

    When I was 52 years old, I accidentally learned about reflection. I happened to be sitting in a lecture at Korea University in Seoul. The course delved into world religions and this particular lecture dealt with Buddhism.

    The professor mentioned that Buddhism had a long tradition of learning through reflection. This aroused me from my normal state of lethargic mindlessness and I asked the professor, “What is reflection exactly?”

    She replied that it was a mental process where you periodically step back and think about an experience and then figure out what went well and what could have gone better. And then she said, “The school of life teaches; but only if you are willing to reflect on experience.”

    Here I was, a creature of the university. Much of my life was spent in a library with my nose in the textbook or in a state of confusion reading scholarly research journals. And yet, I had never been exposed to one of the most valuable tools of learning ever.  — Murray Johannsen, Course Developer & Instructor

        Dream big dreams; only big dreams have the power to move men’s souls.” — Marcus Aurelius

        Many are the doors of opportunity open to you. But you must imagine yourself stepping through those doors in the future." — M. Johannsen

        Choose Your Roles. You best map out the roles we want to play on the stage of work. For we can be a star, but only if we see it first in your imagination. 

        Future Proof Your Career. Some simply live in the present; but others — they use the present to construct a better future. For example, birds exist day-to-day, but squirrels. They store food in the summer for winter.

        This Course Has You:

        Construct Four Future Roles. A core part of skill mapping is to define the key skill-sets required to play a particular role. But first, you have to define your social roles. Three of them are future oriented, one is related to what you are currently doing.

        Identify Major Trends In Your Future. Futurists have done our work for us. Don't be blind-sided by the forces that will create or destroy careers.

        Exercise Your Imagination. Learn and practice a couple of guided visualization techniques.
