Pre-course Reflection

Reflecting on Leadership Qualities

Find a quiet, comfortable space to reflect.

Think about a leader or mentor who positively impacted your life. This could be a teacher, manager, coach, or even a family member.

Consider the following questions as you reflect:

• What specific qualities or traits did this person have that you admired?
• How did they make you feel valued or supported?
• What actions or behaviours made their leadership stand out to you?
• How did their leadership style influence your personal or professional growth?

You are encouraged to keep a journal throughout this course to document your thoughts and ideas and revisit them over time to support your reflection. 

• Jot down your reflections in a journal or on a sheet of paper. Be as detailed as possible, including examples of moments or interactions that stood out to you
• Reflect on how these admired qualities align with your own leadership practices. 

Ask yourself:

• Are there qualities you already embody?
• Where are areas for growth?
