The document presents exercises for diary reflection on work events, and emphasizes that reflective practice involves deep critical thought about one's work leading to plans for improvement. Challenges to reflection are also outlined, and it is noted that stories are a product of reflection and can be used to share lessons learned from successes and mistakes.
