Systemic Reflection

Systemic Reflection: My framework for clarity and development

Reflection is key to personal development and effective leadership.
With Reflektieren mit System (Reflecting with System), I have developed a practical yet in-depth framework that helps people organize their thoughts, gain clarity, and take consistent action.

„Depth does not arise by chance, but through a clear process.“

Stephan A. Davis

This model combines scientifically sound principles with my own practical experience in mentoring, leadership, and systemic thinking.

The essentials – the building blocks for effective reflection

ACR Attendancy

  • Awaken – Raise awareness, take an honest look
  • Clarify – inner clarity, priorities, focus
  • Realign – Working in line with values and responsibility

Triarchy of Modern Leadership

  • WORD Principle (WORT-Prinzip) – Trust and communication (Constructivism)
  • Consequences Compass (Konsequenzen-Kompass) – Responsibility and attitude (Stoicism)
  • Influence Formula (Einfluss-Formel) – Clarity and effectiveness (Systems Theory)

Perception and realization

  • Johari Window – a look at self-perception and external perception
  • WOOP meets SMART – clear goal planning and sustainable realization

How it works

  • Step 1 – Awareness: Make your own thoughts, feelings, and patterns visible.
  • Step 2 – Understanding: Recognize connections and classify the context.
  • Step 3 – Alignment: Make decisions, set priorities, and take action.

Each step is clearly structured and accompanied by targeted questions, prompts for reflection, and methodological tools.

Your added value

  • Structure instead of chaos in your head
  • A deeper understanding of yourself and your environment
  • Clarity for decision-making
  • Sustainable realization of your plans
