Reflective thinking is critical, because employers want managers/professionals:

• who are self-aware,
• who capitalise on their strengths,
• who will have impact wherever they work,
• who are committed to personal development and life-long learning, and who can confidently provide evidence for these claims.

Gibbs Cycle of Reflection helps you to record, structure, think about and reflect upon, plan, develop and evidence your own learning

After you include details of what you did or how you did something, then you will consider asking yourself questions such as:

• Did it go well? Why? What did you learn?
• Did it go badly? Why? What did you learn?
• How can you improve for next time

When you apply the Gibbs cycle of reflection, you will record your experiences, thoughts, feelings and reflections; including your conclusions about how what you have learnt is relevant to you and how you will use the new information/knowledge/skill in the future. It may contain details of problems you have encountered and solved (or not solved). You will find Gibbs cycle a valuable and useful 'tool' to help your learning and to help you to think about and structure your own learning.

Try to write something down after every new learning experience.

• What you did
• Your thoughts and feelings
• How it went
• What you learned
• What you will do differently next time
