Did you know that journal-writing can be used to further your career and develop valuable leadership skills?

In this episode, meet Gina Rae Hendrickson, a friend and colleague whose company, Genius Leadership Tools, helps bring out the genius in you and your team. Together, we interview the Santa Barbara Chief of Police, Camarino Sanchez.

Chief Sanchez shares how journaling has helped him keep emotionally balanced, focused on what’s important, gain clarity and insight, deal with different people and difficult situations, and more. The Chief has been an icon of leadership in the California police force for several decades. He also explains why he encourages his entire staff to keep a private journal.

This interview is one snippet of a larger workshop series that Gina Rae and I are conducting on Journaling for Managers later this year. You are welcome to join us to learn powerful yet simple exercises that promote healthy leadership skills, including decision-making; prioritization; and crafting a message with authenticity, collaboration and trust. (JournalTalk, Episode #59, July 28, 2015)
