REMEMBER

• New skills take practice, and visualization is a practice technique
• Visualization allows you to mentally rehearse leadership behaviors in advance 
• The more you practice visualization the better you will get…
• …and the more likely your mental rehearsals are to be stored in your habitual mind!
• It’s NOT a vision board (although there’s nothing wrong with a vision board!)
• This has NOTHING to do with the Law of Attraction

ANTICIPATE

• It’s easy to procrastinate or put off practice…
• It’s easy to get distracted…
• It’s hard to visualize situations you’ve never encountered…

PLAN

• …use walking breaks to practice visualization
• …turn your phone to silent
• …ask people who’ve “been there, done that…” to share their experience

REPEAT

• Think about challenging situations in advance
• If you’re anxious about a coming challenging, that’s your cue to practice visualization/mentally rehearse the situation
• Build practice time into your daily routine
