As the calendar year winds down, on the season finale of PM Talks, Patrick Rhone and I dive into the powerful intersection of reflection and growth—topics that feel particularly resonant this time of year. Patrick and I share personal insights and practical takeaways to help you reflect on the past and shape the year ahead.
Reflection and growth are central to the conversation as we explore the tools and techniques that have guided our journeys. Whether you’re new to reflective practices or looking to deepen your approach, this episode has something for you.
Key Discussion Points
