• Objectivity: As a leader, you need to maintain objectivity and avoid projecting your personal experiences onto others. Evaluate your ability to separate your own journey from those you'll be supporting. • Active Listening Skills: Effective leaders are excellent active listeners. Reflect on your ability to listen attentively, ask clarifying questions, and provide a safe space for others to share their stories. • Commitment and Availability: Leading a group requires a significant time commitment and consistent availability. Assess your ability to dedicate the necessary time and energy to fulfill this role effectively.
• Self-Care Practices: Supporting others can be emotionally draining. Assess your self-care practices and ability to maintain a healthy balance to prevent burnout.
