The Moment That Redirected You

Think of one unexpected moment — a conversation, a failure, a discovery — that quietly changed how you work.

The Before State

Describe what you were doing, thinking, or assuming immediately before that moment arrived. What felt fixed or settled?

The Turning Point

Name the exact moment — one sentence. Was it planned or accidental?

Planned

Accidental

The After

What changed in how you worked, decided, or led? Be specific — name one habit, belief, or relationship that shifted.

What You Assumed It Meant

At the time, what did you think the lesson was? Write your first interpretation — then look back at step 2 and ask: does that still hold?

First interpretation

→

Still true?

The Real Meaning

Now that you have distance, what did that moment actually teach you — about yourself, your organisation, or how change really works? Commit to one word that captures it, then write one sentence explaining why that word and not another.

Why that word?

Discuss Tell your partner: what would have been lost if that moment had never happened — or if no one had reflected on it?
