I'm Kate Syuma, a Founder of Growthmates, ex-Miro Head of Growth Design. Every year I’m concluding results and thinking of the future plans, using this 5-step Reflection Framework. I’ve been modifying it each year. It’s mostly inspired by the framework I found from Anna Buldakova — giving her the credit and gratefulness for this 🙏
Hope you’ll find this framework useful, and it will become a great start of the year!
1 — Results ✨
Think of 5-10 most memorable achievements you’re proud of. Think of it as not only your professional milestones, but also personal accomplishments 🙏
- Collect a gallery most memorable moments you had last year
- What was a moment this year when you surprised yourself with your capability or resilience?
- Which accomplishment felt the most aligned with your core values?
- Is there a personal challenge you overcame that brought unexpected growth or clarity?
- What’s a small win that brought you immense joy, even if it seemed insignificant to others?
- What feels different about who you are today compared to this time last year?



- For example, some of mine: “Travelled to Japan, made a dream come true”, “Started a new business, “Built a 5000 audience from scratch”, “Became more advanced in visual arts”
