Reflection --> Self reflection
means thinking about your own thoughts, feelings and actions. It can lead to more mindfulness (“How do I feel?”), more self-awareness (“What am I doing?”) and self-knowledge (“Who am I and what do I want?”).
It was less essential in the traditional world of work, where people predominantly followed instructions and took little responsibility for their own actions.
Today, it is becoming increasingly important as flexible roles and responsibilities emerge and individuals have to navigate a complex world independently.
People should give and accept constructive feedback, perceive tensions and adapt roles and processes.
Self- reflection is needed to be able to rely more and more on oneself and should be seen as a permanent process. Examples of self-reflection are thinking silently, in writing or with the help of a tool, in dialogue with a coach or a group. An outside perspective often helps to understand more about ones own behavior and the effect it has on others.

Regeneration
To truly address the globally intertwined environmental, social, economic and financial challenges, we need to think and aim beyond sustainability.
Regenerative practices are deriving from nature, going beyond sustainablility by not only reducing harm but actively aiming for a whole system approach towards long term positive impact, or system value creation: Restoring, revitalizing, and enhancing ecosystems, communities, and economies. In short: regenerating the resources they use rather than depleting them.
