General 51 Questions to Inspire You for your Year End Review

[joelr]

Here are 51 questions to inspire you for a year-end review from the Unstoppable Creator. Before you jump in, a preface: when it comes to improving ourselves or our communities, reflection is key—but it only works if we’re asking the right questions. The tricky part? The “right” questions aren’t the same for everyone. They’re the ones that spark those “aha!” moments in your mind.

Here’s a twist: some of the best questions might not even directly involve your community. They might be about you. What motivates you to lead? What values are you practicing daily? Where are you falling short? These personal reflections can give you the clarity and energy you need to guide others.
