10 Good Leadership Questions To Ask Yourself

By Brad Lomenick

Featured In This Issue

1. What’s it like to be on the other side of me? Are others around me flourishing? 2. How can I improve? Am I looking for opportunities to lead? 3. Who currently has permission to call me out and say the hard things to me that I need to hear? 4. How do I respond in moments of crisis? Do I chew people out when something is not done right? 5. Am I truly self aware? Where/what are my blind spots in my leadership? Am I a secure confident leader? 6. Do I talk more than I listen? 7. What do I need to learn from my most recent failures? 8. How do I lead people who have different approaches than me? 9. Am I comfortable surrounding myself with people who are better at their jobs than I am? 10. Who else should I be learning from? Who is currently coaching or mentoring me?

ADULT EDUCATION CONFERENCE

Wellness Message from Shana Hansen Healthy Employees = Healthy Agency Energy, activity, and commitment have been the core descriptive verbs for the C3 Wellness Ambassadors and Participants these past (3) months. C3 participants have shown a tremendous commitment to themselves and an appreciation for the services and opportunities provided through the Wellness Center. C3 has hosted (2) Lunch and Learns: Fitness (January 2018) and Heart Health (February 2018); with additional sessions planned for the remainder of the year. Yoga (off campus) is on- going and continues to be very successful. Due to a tremendous response to the trial session and an outpouring of requests, C3 has added Chair Yoga (on campus) sessions to the monthly rotation. There are (4) more classes scheduled for the upcoming quarter and the classes are already nearly full. The Challenge participants have shown that the organization of these activities are well worth the time and money invested. Participants have been motivated to challenge themselves and this has added a friendly competitive atmosphere to the education complex. And we eagerly encourage more of you to attend. But, there is more! The “New Year New You” sign-up brought in a whole host of new wellness center members and challenge participants. In addition, the Annual Health Fair provided C3 additional outreach opportunities. Furthermore, there is now a list-serve in addition to the C3 FACEBOOK, Twitter, and Instagram social media accounts. Project Lead, Shana Hansen was a guest of Marshall Ramsey , and discussed the wellness facility, activities, sessions, and challenges. C3 has seen success in the challenges and we had a blast cheering on our 5k challenge participants. This challenge group has trained with Kelly McBride and rocked the 8th Annual Hot Diggity Dog 5k & Walk on Saturday, April 7, 2018. We look forward to having an even greater turnout next year!
