Ever caught yourself replaying a meeting or conversation days later, questioning your every word and action? You're not alone in this leadership struggle.

Our latest installment in the Leadership is Influence series tackles the complex relationship between reflection and effective leadership. Through an insightful conversation with Liz Draven Hope from Oklahoma Wesleyan University and the show's executive producer, Ben Townsend, we explore how self-reflection can either propel your leadership forward or become a paralyzing force of self-doubt.

• Excessive self-reflection can undermine confidence and create unnecessary anxiety
• Fear often drives overthinking and becomes a "destructive force right between your ears"
• After-action reviews are valuable when they lead to learning and concrete improvements
• Effective reflection includes evaluating both successes and failures to fine-tune leadership approach
• The goal is to balance thoughtful analysis with the ability to move forward without rumination
• Situational lack of confidence affects even experienced leaders in certain contexts
• Turning reflection into action distinguishes productive analysis from unproductive worry
