#SeptemberSurge: Reflection - What Did You Learn About Yourself?

September 30, 20252 min read

You did it.

Whether you took one bold step or 30 consistent ones, the fact that you showed up for your career this month matters.

So before we wrap up the series…
Let’s pause.
Let’s breathe.
Let’s reflect.

The transformation isn’t just in what you did—it's in who you became.

Let’s explore what you’ve learned about yourself, and how that insight can carry you forward.

1. What Did You Prove to Yourself This Month?

  • Did you realize you’re more resourceful than you thought?

  • Did you learn that you can create time for your career growth—even in a busy season?

  • Did you rediscover a skill, strength, or part of yourself you hadn’t honored in a while?

Write it down. Name it. Own it.

2. Where Did You Experience Growth or Clarity?

Growth doesn’t always show up in big milestones. Sometimes it looks like:

  • Asking better questions

  • Setting a boundary

  • Saying “yes” to something that scared you

  • Saying “no” to something that used to define you

Where did you stretch this month?

3. What Surprised You Most About the Process?

  • Was it easier or harder than you thought?

  • Did certain actions feel more aligned than expected?

  • Did confidence return faster than anticipated?

Success leaves clues. Pay attention to what felt right.

4. What Do You Want to Keep Doing?

This is the beginning of something—not the end.

Ask yourself:

  • What habits do I want to maintain?

  • What mindset do I want to carry forward?

  • What structure or support helped me stay consistent?

Momentum becomes mastery when it’s repeated.

5. What Version of You Emerged This Month?

At the start of September, you were one version of yourself.

And now?

  • Are you bolder?

  • Clearer?

  • More grounded?

  • More aligned with what you want?

Celebrate who you’ve become—and who you’re becoming.

💡 Coach Tamara’s Insight

“Reflection is not the end of growth—it’s the amplifier. When you acknowledge your progress, you create the mindset to sustain it.”

You don’t need to “do more” today.

You just need to pause long enough to see how much you’ve already done.
