Summary

Welcome to Minisode Monday, where we kick off the week with something quick and actionable -- to make you more magnetic and effective -- that you can implement right away. Ryan Michler (@orderofman) of Order of Man joins us to discuss how we can apply The After Action Review to better process -- and learn from -- our mistakes and successes. The Cheat Sheet: The After Action Review is a debriefing process that helps process recent successes and failures in order to learn from them. It consists of asking five questions: What did I get accomplished? What did I not accomplish? What did I do well? What did I not do well? What can I do better next time?

0:00.0	Hey, Jordan Harpinger here from the Art of Charm. Welcome to Miniso Monday.
0:04.0	Happy to be here with you kicking off the week with something quick and actionable that you can
0:08.0	implement right away that'll make you more magnetic and effective. Today we're talking with Ryan
0:12.7	Mickler, who was just on the show recently. Ryan, you've got the after-action review. What is it?
0:17.2	When do we use it and how can we use it for ourselves? Yeah, so the after-action review is something
0:21.7	that I learned about in my time in the military service. As an 18-year-old, I joined the military
0:26.6	with his 18 and as an 18-year-old, a punk kid who knew it all. Frankly, I'd roll my eyes and
0:31.6	really didn't get that heavily into this until I realized that, oh, this actually works.
0:36.9	Part of the problem in the military is we have a tendency sometimes to over-complicate things and
0:41.6	make it a little bit more difficult than it needs to be. But as I started to use this in my

1:08.2	every engagement that helps me measure what did I get done, what didn't I get done, where can I
1:12.9	improve? So the five questions, if you want me to run through those real quick, I can do that
1:15.9	right now. Yeah, let's do it. Right on. So the first question is what did I get accomplished?
1:21.2	So if I'm in a conversation or I'm on this podcast or at the end of the day, what is the thing that
1:26.4	I got accomplished that I set out to accomplish? Number two, what did I not accomplish? Is there
1:32.8	something that I tried to do or wanted to do or wanted to get done in the beginning of the day
1:37.1	that I wasn't able to complete? Number three is what did I do well? And this is an opportunity for
1:42.6	you to look at where you succeed, look at where you thrive. There might even be a set of skills that
