Choose someone in your life that you trust and knows you well. This can be a spouse or partner, friend, parent, child, colleague, supervisor or mentor. Ask them to give you feedback on the following questions (tip: you can say it is for a class assignment!). Keep in mind, leadership is not always formal. It can involve taking initiative in your own life, influencing change (personal or organizational), or having a positive influence on others.

--- In general, what would you say are my character strengths? What kind of leadership qualities or potential do you see in me?

--- Can you share an example of a time when you've seen me demonstrate effective leadership? What did I do or say? What was most impactful or stands out the most to you about this?

• Who did you ask for feedback and why? What is your relationship with them?
• How did they answer your questions?
• What was most impactful and/or surprising to you about their answers? How will you use this information moving forward?
