Begin Your Reflection | Leadership Vitality Diagnostic

Part 1 · Where You Stand

Before we look at anything else, let's see where you actually are.

Question 1

Which statement most describes the season you're in right now?

Performing well, but with less in reserve than I used to have
Managing, but feeling increasingly empty
Carrying more than I can sustain much longer
Already past the warning signs — something has had to give

Question 2

When you rest, what happens?

I recover quickly and return refreshed
I recover, but it takes longer than it used to
I rest, but don't feel restored by it
I can't seem to rest — my mind keeps running even when my body stops

Question 3

Which of these has become familiar?

Check all that apply.

A tiredness that sleep doesn't touch
Sleep that won't come, or won't hold
Reactions sharper than the moment calls for
Decisions that used to be easy now requiring willpower
Stretches of fog or forgetfulness
A heaviness that settles in without clear cause
None of these — not yet

Please answer each question before continuing.

Part 2 · The Quiet Cost

Some costs don't show up on any report. These are the ones worth seeing.

Question 4

When did you last feel fully alive — not accomplished, just alive?

Within the past week
Within the past month
Several months ago, at least
I can't quite remember

Question 5

How would you describe the gap between what your life looks like from the outside and what it feels like on the inside?

Small — they're reasonably well-matched
Growing — the outside version is getting harder to maintain
Wide — I'm performing a life that doesn't feel like mine
I'm not sure who the person on the outside even is anymore

Question 6

When you reach past your achievements, what do you find holding you up?

A deep sense of purpose that sustains me
Something real, but thinner than it used to be
I used to feel connected to something higher — that connection has gone quiet
Honestly, I haven't looked in a long time
I'm not sure there's anything beyond the work itself

Please answer each question before continuing.

Part 3 · The Patterns

What you believe about yourself is doing more work than you realize.

Question 7

Which of these has quietly become true in how you operate?

Check all that apply.

"Only I can do this"
"I must control the outcome"
"Rest is a luxury I'll earn later"
"My worth is tied to what I produce"
"Asking for help means I've failed"
"If I stop pushing, everything falls apart"
None of these describe how I operate

Question 8

Of what you've tried to address the exhaustion, which actually provided relief that lasted?

Several approaches helped meaningfully and are still working
One or two helped for a while, then faded
Things helped briefly, but something deeper stayed unchanged
Honestly, nothing has reached what I'm actually carrying

Question 9

When you imagine what would actually have to shift — not just improve — what feels true?

Some practical adjustments, and I'd be back on track
A real change in how I lead, not just what I do
Something has to be set down that I've been carrying a long time
I don't know anymore — I just know what I'm doing isn't working

Please answer each question before continuing.

Part 4 · If You're Ready

No pressure. Just your honest sense of what would be useful next.

Question 10

If a 30-minute Leadership Vitality Consultation with Rev. Dr. Stone would be useful, when would feel right?

Soon — I'm ready to talk this week or next
Within the next few weeks
Within the next month or two
Just reflecting for now — I may reach out later

Question 11 · Optional

Is there anything you'd like Rev. Dr. Stone to know before a potential conversation?

If something surfaced during these questions that you'd like to name, there's space here. If not, it's fine to leave blank.

Question 12

Where should the confidential reflection be sent?
