Where thoughtful reflection creates better decisions, learning and leadership.
Where Could Depth Make the Biggest Difference?
In fast-moving environments, speed often becomes the default.
But meaningful progress also requires moments of depth: time to think clearly, listen well, and integrate what we learn.
Use the prompts below to reflect on your own work, growth, and daily habits.
1. Define Your Strategic Priorities
Where might you be moving fast but not thinking deeply enough?
Consider:
- Are you reacting quickly rather than thinking things through?
- Are small issues returning because root causes aren’t addressed?
- Do you give yourself time to think before responding or deciding?
Reflection prompt:
What is one decision or challenge that would benefit from deeper thinking rather than faster action?
If you’re a leader:
How can you create space for thoughtful decision-making within your team, not just quick responses?

2. Attention & Focus
What is currently fragmenting your attention?
Depth requires moments of uninterrupted focus.
Consider:
- How often do you work without distraction?
- Do you switch constantly between tasks or conversations?
- Do you give important work your full attention?
Reflection prompt:
Where could protecting even 30 minutes of uninterrupted focus improve your work or wellbeing?
If you’re a leader:
What helps or prevents your team from having the focus they need to do meaningful work?

3. Learning & Growth
Are you consuming information, or truly developing capability?
Real growth takes time to absorb, practise, and apply.
Consider:
- Do you give yourself time to reflect on what you learn?
- Are you learning deeply or just quickly moving on to the next thing?
- What skill or capability would benefit from deeper development?
Reflection prompt:
Which area of your growth deserves more depth, not just quick exposure?
If you’re a leader:
How can learning within your team move beyond information-sharing to real capability building?

4. Presence & Connection
How present are you in your daily interactions?
Depth shows up in how we listen, respond, and engage with others.
Consider:
- Do you listen fully before responding?
- Are conversations rushed or meaningful?
- Do you make space to understand before reacting?
Reflection prompt:
What is one small behaviour that could make you more present in your work and conversations?
If you’re a leader:
How does your presence influence the tone, trust, and focus of your team?

5. One Intentional Shift
Depth doesn’t require dramatic change. Often, it begins with one small adjustment.
Choose one:
- Protect time for focused thinking
- Replace one rushed conversation with a deeper one
- Engage with one meaningful learning resource and reflect on it
- Build short moments of reflection into your week
Commitment:
What will you create more depth in how you work and grow.
