Krish, I finally got a chance to read the piece you shared back in May (thanks)! Good work, I found the 3 practices described useful (i.e., pause, journaling, and meditation). Adult learning theory outlines 3 focal areas that can be explored during reflection using the strategies you've noted, i.e., reflecting on content (i.e., the "what"); process (i.e., the "how"); and premise (i.e., the "why").

Just wanted to share my post on reflective thinking. I think as coaches, a key purpose that we knowingly or unknowingly serve is to help our clients develop this key capability.

I do hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it :)
