Prompts to help you notice and expand core competencies
For the next week or two, notice how you work. Notice how others work together. No judgment — don’t fix anything. Just notice.
At the end of your workday, pick one of these prompts and write about it. 10, 15, 20 minutes, in the pause between your work mind and your not work mind, will reveal habits, patterns and strengths you may not have noticed before.
Even better: share these prompts with others. You’ll discover that your quirks and challenges are more common than you think.
Create a new space for these explorations or just free write. (Don’t over-engineer your studio (yet). If you’ve already started writing integration scripts ... I feel you, brother. But you’ve gone too far.)
