Trudy explains how this practice boosts motivation, enhances self-awareness, and shifts focus from what’s left to do to what has been achieved. By sharing two powerful examples from Principals in the Leaders Learning Circle, she demonstrates the impact of shifting mindset from 'more to do' to 'what has been achieved’, and also explains the research on motivation and measuring progress. Trudy finishes this episode by sharing the practical steps and reflection questions to implement this 10-Minute End-of-Week or End-of-Term Activity.
