Hi all,
I was honored to be invited in Leading with Quality Series Podcast where one of the take aways were:
I would love to know and would encourage everyone to engage and share your thoughts:
I hope the tips shared are helpful and resonates with you all! 
This is such a considerate and relevant topic- thanks for sharing it with the community!
Self-evaluation through a heuristic lens really goes personal for me. I have found that the heuristic approach provides a relatively flexible framework within which I evaluate not merely what went wrong or what went right, but why. It opens the doors for curiosity and not for judgment. That shift has been life-altering in my personal and professional development.
Let me now address your questions:
For me, self-awareness begins frequently with journaling after a sprint or project. I attempt to reflect not only on the results but more importantly on the types of decision-making processes we walked through-were they rushed, biased, overly cautious?
When tips like these resonate, it’s because they’re validating something I’ve felt subconsciously but haven’t yet articulated. That “aha” moment is what helps me to double down on intentional learning.
I put myself intentionally into areas or roles in which I’m a little uncomfortable to learn something new. Discomfort equals data and is usually where the growth begins.
For the other side of recognizing those windows of improvements usually come from feedback loops-from peers, retrospectives; I tune into those moments of friction and ask is this a learning edge for me?
Thanks again for sharing this—it’s sparking some deep thoughts!
Great article, it did hit home. Most times I am more preoccupied that my team and others are doing this work and making sure I empower them to add value to themselves - personally and professionally. So your first step “Write down what you feel you’re lacking?”, as soon as I read it I realised that I have forgotten about myself in this process. So I’m going to find some time to do this.
