Every great leader must first learn to lead themself. Because we are at home for the next few weeks, it is a great time to invest in the practice of self-leadership. Jeremy will host this challenge via a 4-part podcast series, encouraging us with ideas and reflective questions that prompt us to think, journal, and engage. Week 4: You and The Mirror This week we will summarize key themes of this challenge through the metaphor of approaching the mirror. The mirror we use to self-reflect upon is vital to our self-leadership success. Reflective Questions: What are the top 10 mirrors in your life? What types of mirrors do you have? People, books, podcasts, mindsets, etc. Which ones would you like to include that you don’t have? What challenges do you face when you “approach the mirror”? What are some strategies to help you with those challenges? What challenges do you face when getting into the arena? What are some strategies to get you in there? What scriptures remind you of who you are and what you are capable of? Now that the challenge is over, what will you be taking with you as a leader today that you did not have when you started the challenge?

Reflective Questions: What challenges you when it comes to preparation? Which preparation or “preparation routine” would be helpful for you to grow to the next level? If you were to design a “preparation routine”, what would that look like? Who are the 3-5 closest people in your life? How are they impacting your growth? Which “companions or mentors” would you like to limit, invest in further or add to your life? What are some areas of your self-development that you would like your “companions and mentors” to be involved in to help you grow? What would a good reflective process look like for you? Which scripture passages or moments in your walk with God are encouraging/helpful/beneficial to regularly reflect upon? What are some practical steps you could take this week to work a reflective process into your routine?

Reflective Questions: What do you seem to be able to do with a great amount of ease and effortlessness? What would you consider your top strengths and personality traits? If you were to list out 10 things that you are not, what would they be? What does that list say to you? List out your top 10 values in life. How well do you invest in these values daily? Weekly? Monthly? Based on the health of your values, do you feel they are guiding you where you want to go in life? What are some memories you have where you experienced an extraordinary amount of joy and significance? What do these memories have in common? What segment of humanity do you feel drawn to? What segment of humanity do you feel the need to avenge when injustices come upon them? If you were to put your why, your intent, into one sentence, what would it be? Who do you compare yourself to? Why do you think that is? Can you sum up all this into 5-7 sentences?
