Every great leader must first learn to lead themself. Because we are at home for the next few weeks, it is a great time to invest in the practice of self-leadership. Jeremy will host this challenge via a 4-part podcast series, encouraging us with ideas and reflective questions that prompt us to think, journal, and engage.

Week 1: Self-influence

If leadership is influence, the question is- how well are we influencing ourselves? This week we will discuss a few ideas on self-influence to kick off our conversation on self-leadership.

Reflective Questions:

• What does your self-influence “pie chart” look like as it relates to situations, others, and yourself?
  
• What would you like your “influence allocation” to look like?  Why?
  
• What are 3 practical things you can do this week to begin moving toward that desired “influence allocation”?
  
• How does your faith in God impact your self-influence?
  
• What does a healthy balance of influence from others and situations look like for you?
  
• List out 3-5 healthy limits or boundaries when it comes to allowing the influence of situations and others in your life. Where, when and how will you restrict their effect on you? Why?
  
• List out 3-5 areas where you want to allow the influence of situations and others in your life. Where, when and how will you restrict their effect on you? Why?
  
• What are the key takeaways from this week’s podcast?
