Journaling is one of the most powerful tools for self-reflection and growth - but let’s be honest, most of us don’t know where to start when we put pen to paper?

That’s why in this week’s episode of The 360 LeadHership Podcast, I’m sharing six of my favourite go-to journal prompts to help you reflect on your leadership in 2024.

These aren’t just generic prompts - they’re specifically designed for women like you, in senior leadership, to get crystal clear on what worked, what didn’t, and what to focus on in 2025.

Set yourself up to lead with more confidence and ease next year.

I’ve used these very same prompts myself this year and reflecting on my own challenges and wins helped me make some big shifts in how I lead.

These prompts will guide you to:

• Reflect on the challenges and growth moments of 2024.
• Celebrate the ways you build trust and empower your team.
• Uncover the beliefs that held you back or propelled you forward.
• Evaluate the boundaries, routines, and habits that supported your wellbeing.
• Set meaningful intentions to step into 2025.

I’m here to give you a little bit of tough love (with a lot of love, of course) because the world needs you stepping fully into your power right now.

You are talented, ambitious, and more than capable, yet sometimes feel like a wallflower at work.

Whether it’s second-guessing your value or fearing how others might perceive you, let’s face it - holding back isn’t helping you or anyone around you.

Tune in to this episode, to learn:

• Tell-tale signs you’re playing small in your leadership career—and how to break free
• Why playing small is holding you back—and the mindset shifts you need to step up
• Real stories of transformation: women who found confidence by stepping up boldly
• Powerful strategies to conquer imposter syndrome and end the cycle of overthinking
