End of summer, start of a new season: September has become the “new black” for re-orientation and growth thoughts-if not downright decisions.

This “back-to-school” feeling is really appropriate for positive questions and reflections, ideally leading to relevant personal and professional actions.

We suggest to take some time to answer any -or all!- of the following. Focus on what can be done, on what could be concrete along the themes:

• What makes me feel good?
• What actions do I take to succeed?
• What energy do I invest in building and maintaining relationships?

Looking back at the first half of the year with a light view on possible ‘lessons learned’

• How would I describe or summarize my semester in a few words?
• Who were the two (or more…) people whom have had an impact on my work and my behaviour? Obviously the next question would be: why?
• What can I learn from my past term’s biggest risk and achievement or -yes- failure?
• Which help or service have I sincerely provided on the job?

Entering the new term re-energized:

• What would I like to learn this semester and beyond? Which talent or skill would I like to develop?
• Which project(s) will I manage successfully -for sure!
• What would make me (even more-) happy or cheerful this term?  lots of ideas here, aren’t there…?
• What would I really like to undertake professionnally and how could I concretely make it happen?
• Which colour, symbol, word, theme would I give to this new term?

Enjoy this opportunity for a new start or for progressing positively on your current projects!
