Gibbs' Reflective Cycle 6-Step Process Flow

About this template

This slide lays out Gibbs' Reflective Cycle as six stacked rows, each with a numbered chevron, a stage label and a reflection question, plus a return line from the last step back to the first. The stages are Description, Feelings, Evaluation, Analysis, Conclusion and Action Plan. Down arrows show the order of the steps. A text area on the right holds a short explanation of team communication. Use it for reflective practice sessions, team debriefs, coaching, training and project reviews. Stage names, questions, numbers, the paragraph and the row colours can all be edited.
