📌 Project Title
“Leadership in Action: Applying Intentional Reflection”
Prepared by: Nabeeha Kiran
Date: June 23,2025
1. 🎯 Objective
Behavior to practice: Intentional Self-Reflection
Goal: Apply this behavior in a real leadership scenario, reflect on its effects, and share
findings to reinforce course learning and promote meaningful growth.
2. 🧭 Scenario Selection
Choose a real, recent leadership moment you experienced—e.g.:
A challenging team meeting
Conflict between colleagues
Key decision-making with ambiguity
Briefly describe: context, your role, your emotional state, and why this situation felt impactful.
3. 🧠 Intentional Reflection Activity
Based on proven reflection techniques (waldenu.edu, positivepsychology.com), follow this
sequence:
1. Set aside 20–30 minutes within 48 hours of the event.
2. Use structured prompts:
o What happened?
o How did I feel?
o What assumptions or emotional triggers surfaced?
o What worked well? What didn’t?
o What will I do differently next time?
3. Record your reflections in a journal or doc for clarity and accountability.
4. 🛠️Implementation Plan
Week 1: Identify your scenario and reflect after the event.
Week 2 onward (optional): Repeat the process after 2–3 more leadership moments.
Support tools: Use journaling sheets or templates to structure your
reflections (positivepsychology.com, waldenu.edu).
5. 📈 Insights & Lessons Learned
In your project document, include:
Before reflection: What you thought, how you behaved, and your emotional tone.
After reflection: Key insights, emotional awareness, and behavioral shifts.
Measured impact: Did your reflection affect your next actions? Team connection?
Decision quality?
Peer feedback (if used): What did colleagues notice about your shifts in presence or
tone?
6. 🫶 Sharing & Reinforcement
Format: One-page summary or short slideshow.
Include:
1. Situation overview
2. Reflection prompts and your responses
3. Behavioral changes
4. Measurable outcomes or shifts
