Episode Description
Research has documented the positive effects associated with journaling, including the improved ability to form a coherent narrative and enhanced cognitive processing about the way people think about themselves and their relation to others in the world. Given the fact our leadership skills develop as a result of the insights we gain by processing our experiences – both positive and negative – journaling is key strategy for growing as a leader. Leadership guru Peter Drucker said, “Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.” Nevertheless, few people are successful in taking up and sustaining this powerful practice. Join co-hosts John Jeanetta and Dr. Sheryl Gee as they talk to Dr. John Price, author of three memoirs and English professor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, as they discuss strategies to use in developing the habit of journaling.
