End of 2024 Reflection Session

We recently hosted a small gathering of eight people including founders, community organizers, and scientists in a private, calm setting in Amsterdam—complete with a cozy fireplace. Over the course of the evening, we used a structured approach with a a-la carte menu containing hundreds of thought-provoking questions to stimulate deeper insights and lessons from the year.

Everyone shared personal highlights, lessons learned, and their hopes for the coming year. A few methods that were shared were daily grading of your personal metrics like ‘How good of a father and friend have I been today’. This allows you to improve daily.

Some examples of questions/prompts that we discussed:

• What were your ‘catalyst events’ of the year? How did they change the trajectory of your year?
• What habits led to the positive catalyst events? And negative?
• Whose behavior merited celebration?
• Where in my life or work am I currently seeking comfort when a little discomfort is needed?

Between sessions, we enjoyed drinks and conversation. We intentionally created a relaxed ambiance that allowed for honest reflection, while the format helped us stay focused on what truly matters—growing as individuals and shaping a future.

If you’d like access to the reflection prompts we used, drop us a message. We’d be happy to share!
