What if you paused long enough to notice just how far you've actually come this year? In this episode, we’re talking about the power of celebrating your leadership wins—big and small—and why principals rarely give themselves enough credit. I’m sharing simple reflection questions to help you recognize your growth, honor the hard things you navigated, and step into 2026 with intention and confidence.

Reflection Questions in the Episode:

• What did I do this year that I once thought would be really hard—or even impossible?
• Where did I show courage or leadership even when I felt uncertain?
• What systems did I build or improve that made life easier for students and staff?
• What difficult situation did I navigate better than I would have in the past?
• Where did I grow as a leader?
• What did I accomplish this year that I am really proud of?
