What is our People’s experience of Peer Reflection?

‍

What does Peer Reflection look at Thrive Tribe?

‍

Peer Reflection enables practitioners to develop skills and knowledge by actively reflecting on their practice. It enables us to problem-solve rather than see challenges as barriers. It promotes creativity and innovation. More importantly it gets individuals talking about their practice and sharing ideas, emotions, and coping strategies and this cultivates a positive workplace culture of health and well-being.

It can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, recognise the contributions of your team members, and develop strategies for improvement. Self and peer reflection can also foster a sense of accountability, responsibility, and collaboration in your group.

Evidence suggests that support, like peer reflection, can buffer against anxiety, stress, and high workloads. Peer reflection and clinical supervision will benefit individuals to:

• Develop personally and professionally

• Be less inclined to leave the profession

• See increased confidence levels

The goal is to become elevated versions of ourselves so that we can bring our authentic style into the way we relate to work, our colleagues and the clients we work with, be this directly or indirectly.
