Do you remember getting your progress report as a student? I certainly do. Sometimes, I was incredibly proud of the work I had completed, and I was excited for my mother to see how well I was doing, while on other occasions, I was a little nervous walking into the parent-teacher conference. Those progress reports from our school days were great examples of life. In most work environments, our work is still measured at the end of the day, week, month, or in our yearly evaluations.

To evaluate work, it must be visible to those interested, and recognizing the progress of the work or growth is extremely important. Time to reflect upon our work, gather feedback, and adjust is all part of a learning experience.
