This document discusses the importance of daily self-reflection through journaling to develop a leadership mindset. It provides prompts for daily journal entries over the course of a week to reflect on beliefs, thoughts, events, progress, and areas for improvement. Developing a leadership mindset requires introspection through writing to process ideas, recognize patterns, take action, and see progress towards goals. The success of developing this mindset depends on consistently answering the daily reflective questions.

2. Changing a mindset requires a deep, introspective journey. The questions
sectioned out for each week require self-reflection and are meant to be
written out. The act of writing your thoughts has many benefits such as
clearing your mind, processing ideas, recognizing repeated patterns, taking
action toward a goal, and it helps you see progress.
The success you experience in this course will be directly dependent on
the time, effort, and energy you invest in doing all the exercises.
As you move through each week, you’ll start to see shifts in your thinking and
ultimately your experiences.
To your success!

5. A leadership mindset involves having certain attitudes, beliefs and expectations
that create the foundation of who you are, how you lead others and how you
interact with and influence your colleagues.
This mindset is important to hone because it is the driving component and effects
everything you do within your job.
It governs your opinions, decisions and actions, and it impacts everyone around you
in the work environment. Your thought patterns influence your relationship with
others, how you achieve your goals and the success of your overall performance.
What direction is your mind taking you?
