Reflective Companion

Welcome to your Jigsaw.coach Reflective Companion 

Caroline has created a workbook that is designed to support your growth as a coach, mentor or supervisor through regular, structured reflection. 

This resource provides one reflective task each week, combined with a new reflective theme each month, allowing you to build depth, awareness and confidence in how you learn from practice.  By the end of the year, you will have completed weekly meaningful reflections, forming a rich and evolving record of yor journey through the year. 

Why does reflective practice matter?

Regular reflective practice supports professionals in:

  • Transforming experience into learning.
  • Strengthening self-awareness, including biases, assumptions and habitual responses.
  • Improving ethical decision-making and professional judgement.
  • Reinforcing confidence and competence. 
  • Encouraging adaptability and innovation, and a heightened awareness of preferences and patterns.
  • Supporting resilience and wellbeing.
  • Promoting lifelong learning and curiosity as core professional values.
  • Aligning practice with purpose, helping clarify what matters and why.
  • Building accountability and strengthening impact because clients benefit from more reflective and responsive practitioners.

Monthly Themes

Each month you will explore a new dimension of reflective practice as well as a range of reflective models and tools to help widen your thinking and sharpen your practice.
