5. PARTICIPANT COMMENTS • “Lessons learned have shaped my leadership behavior, relationships and personal vision.” • “Many things have changed in my life since last year’s Chair Academy, and since my Mid-year report was submitted. . . . The Chair Academy session has taught me that I need to take the time to think and plan long-term and be strategic. The reflection and strategic planning have probably been the most valuable piece for me.” • “Attending the first week of the Chair Academy was a great experience. I had so much enthusiasm for what I learned that I made significant progress on nearly all of my objectives before it was time to do my midterm report in February . . .” • “Looking back to the last year’s Chair Academy workshops and training sessions, I am glad to see myself profoundly changed in numerous leadership styles; including complex roles as an organizational leader, behavioral style, team building, being an effective manager in strategic planning and managing conflicts.” • “Due to the Chair Academy, in this last year, I exhibited a significant growth, improvement, and achievement in my workplace. This is squarely due to the motivation and encouragement I received from the workshops, training sessions and mentees.” • “This past year has provided so many opportunities for growth, change and reflection. . . .As I work through my goals and objectives in each of the above categories, I realize how they all come together as one package when working in teams or when being the lead on a project. Each category provides tools and a focus when working with others. This perspective has allowed me to ‘stand on the balcony” and to observe who needs help to move forward, who needs more information, when to listen rather than throwing more ideas out and when to pull everyone together.”

Engaging in reflective practice requires: • Assume the perspective of an external observer. • Identify the assumptions and feelings underlying their practice • Speculate about how assumptions and feelings affect practice. (Kottkamp, 1990; Osterman, 1990; Peters, 1991)
