Orientation area: Acting

Reflection and adaptation are the key to long-term success. A steering wheel helps you to actively stay on course – but if conditions change, you should consciously adjust your course. Taking action means not only implementing your strategy, but also recognizing when it’s time to readjust.

This orientation area is part of the KAMPINADA® compass, which helps you to make conscious decisions and create sustainable change.

Reflection questions for conscious action

Change is not a one-off act, but a living process. These questions help you – whether as an individual, in a team or in the company – to pause regularly, check whether you are still on course and realign your path if necessary.

For you

Are you really going your own way – or do you already feel the call for correction?

Conscious action does not mean going on and on – it means pausing, sensing and making new decisions.

Questions for your clarity:

What has moved you emotionally recently – and what is behind it?
Which action felt right – and which didn’t?
Is your goal still the same – or is there a new focus?
What do you need to move forward with confidence or realign yourself?

For teams

How well do you manage to align yourselves together?

Teamwork means constant coordination and mutual feedback – without reflection, friction arises.

Questions for your team:

Have we lived up to our agreements – or do we need an update?
What challenges have surprised us – and what have we learned from them?
Does everyone in the team feel whether we are still on the right course?
How can we improve the way we deal with change?

For companies

Do we live what we have decided – or do we just talk about it?

Change requires not only strategies, but also a system of reflection – so as not to get stuck in old patterns.

Questions for your company:

Where do our actions and our values (still) diverge?
What internal or external developments are currently demanding adjustments?
How consistently do we reflect on current initiatives or processes?
Is there room for honest feedback – and is it listened to?

3-Step-Reflection: Good – Better – Measures
This method helps teams to learn from experience and derive directly implementable measures. The focus is on a clear structure: What went well? What could have been better? What concrete measures result from this?

Step-by-step reflection and subsequent prioritization result in clear, action-oriented learnings that are not only discussed but also implemented.
Change of perspective: experience perception in a new way
Sometimes it helps to look at the world from a new perspective in order to clear your head and consciously arrive back in the here and now. This method uses two different perception techniques to interrupt your thoughts and make you present.
Bodyscan – consciously perceiving the body
The body scan is a simple but extremely effective method for arriving in the here and now. By gradually moving your attention through the body, you develop a deeper awareness of your sensations and emotions. The body scan can help to release tension, reduce stress and strengthen the connection between body and mind.
5-4-3-2-1 method
The 5-4-3-2-1 method is a simple but effective technique for quickly returning to the here and now. It uses your senses to calm your mind and focus your attention on the present moment. Perfect for stressful situations or when you feel rushed or absent-minded.
The 4-7-8 breathing technique – your anchor for inner peace
The 4-7-8 breathing technique is a simple but effective method for reducing stress in just a few breaths. A conscious breathing rhythm calms your nervous system, your heartbeat slows down and your body relaxes noticeably. It is a valuable anchor for inner peace, especially in moments of stress or before going to bed.
Star breathing
Star breathing is a simple breathing technique that helps you to reduce stress and refocus on the moment. It combines light visualization with conscious breathing to calm your thoughts and clear your mind.
Relaxation with the fist technique
This technique helps to quickly reduce acute tension or nervousness. It combines breathing with a physical component and can be particularly helpful before presentations, in stressful conversations or in moments of emotional overload.
