The end of the school year is packed with obligations and events, but making time to pause, reflect, and plan for the upcoming school year is essential for continued growth. Join Dr. Janet Pilcher as she advises leaders to pause and reflect on organizational results and the alignment and consistency of leadership practices. Listen as Janet presents questions to guide leaders through this reflection, empowering them to plan for success in the year ahead.

This episode addresses questions such as:

• How does gaining feedback allow leaders to "get better at getting better"?
• What is the importance of pausing and reflecting before the planning process begins?
• How can leaders successfully measure that their priorities support the achievement of positive results, both organizationally and individually?

Recommended Resources: Reflect to Improve Your Leadership, Mindfulness and Reflection Practices for Leaders and Teams, The Power of Pause
