Reflect
When did you first feel like a leader?
Something you believe about leadership.
Something you struggle with when leading others.
Think of a leader you admire. What do they do that you want to grow into?
Write a six-word story: who I am (or want to be) as a leader.
What: What lesson(s) are you taking away from today?
So what: Why does it matter for how you lead?
Now what: What will you do differently?
