1. Identifying and challenging assumptions:

 Reflect on recent events which worked well or not-so-well; describing what happened and your reactions to it may help to identify assumptions that were confirmed or challenged by events.

 Do the same for an achievement of which you are most proud.

 Imagine that you have decided to leave your job and are advising the committee who will appoint your replacement: list the qualities they should look for in that person. That may indicate the assumptions you hold about the nature of your job, and what it takes to do it well.
