Reflection

The task Reflection Partner is designed to help with is the often uncomfortable and vulnerable task of untangling something that is weighing on you.

This might mean puzzling through a set of experiences that don’t line up — trying to hear the signal from the noise — deciding which loyalty to choose. Etc. In these tasks, having a sounding board is generally more helpful than getting advice or even comfort. These are live, real-time problems or questions. Things you want to address before you talk with your friend, before you go back into the office and face the coworker who got under your skin, before you decide how to address a money situation.

This task can be called self-reflection, self-awareness, or a handful of other things. But the common denominator involves hearing yourself more clearly and honestly so that you can decide with more clarity how you want to move forward.
