Critical Self-Reflection

megan_borga — 2024-04-03 21:40:23 UTC

At each meeting, provide time (even if it is only 2 - 3 minutes) for written reflection. Post a countdown timer and ask everyone to continue writing until time is up.

Share a discovery of an oppressive practice you realized you engaged in and how it made you feel.

One brief activity that you can incorporate into every meeting to promote critical self-reflection among staff is a "Rose, Thorn, Bud" exercise. This activity encourages participants to reflect on positive aspects (rose), challenges or areas for improvement (thorn), and areas of potential growth or opportunities (bud).
