Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep meaning to step back and take stock, but reflection always loses to whatever’s urgent
- I’m all action — I do, do, do and barely ever stop to reflect or make sense of it — and I suspect my learning is lopsided because I lean hard on the one part of the process that comes naturally to me and quietly skip the parts that don’t.
- Whatever I figure out from one experience just evaporates by the time the next one comes along
- I reflect and I do notice things
- My learning seems to die at the same spot every time

- Structured Reflection: Kolb’s Learning Cycle in Practice
Structured reflection, built on David Kolb’s experiential learning cycle, turns raw experience into usable knowledge by moving deliberately through four stages: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. Without structure, most experience passes without producing the insight it could; with it, every attempt generates a lesson that feeds the next one. - Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle: Learning by Doing and Reflecting
David Kolb’s experiential learning cycle proposes four stages — concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation — through which people convert experience into learning. The cycle is widely used in adult education and coaching, though its status as a scientifically validated model is contested; the core claim that reflection and conceptualization amplify learning from experience has solid practical and some empirical support. - Build a weekly reflection ritual so the cycle runs regularly
Schedule a fixed reflection window so the four stages happen as a routine, not an afterthought.
