Q: Is experience a good teacher?
A: Only if you’re a good student.
John Dewey is quoted as saying, “We do not learn from experience… We learn from reflecting on experience.”
Don’t allow yourself to move from experience to experience, pulled into the “never-ending-now“. Instead, make time for reflection and intentional learning.
Actionable Question: What experience do you need to reflect on from this year?
Have a happy New Year,
