I tend to reflect on my blogging life twice a year – in July, when the anniversary of when I started this blog arrives, and in December, as all of the end of the year lists and notes come around. A few years ago I create a survey to summarize my blogging for the year. Each year I adapt the survey a little, based on my latest reflections.

My favorite blog topics this year:

• Lessons Learned Skydiving
• People Follow People, Not Positions
• Teacher Leadership Book Studies (co-written by my friend and colleague)
• Sit and Get Compliance

My most read blog posts from this year:

• Core Values
• The Art of Questioning
• Using Your Strengths at Work
• Tell Me More
• People Follow People, Not Positions

The month in which I published the most posts:

• January – 4 posts, down from 6 last January!
• April, June, July, and September  tied for second place with 3 posts!

The top countries where my blog readers live (outside of the US):

• Philippines
• Hong Kong (new to the list this year)
• Canada
• Australia
• United Kingdom

Terms people searched that helped them arrive at my blog:

• art of questioning
• leadership voice
• reflection
• core values reflection
• over scaffolding

Blogging goals for 2019:

Last year I wrote: Keep reflecting! Keep writing! Keep reading!  I still have those goals, but I want to add something new for next year.

• Highlight my coaching posts (past and future) that align with the instructional coaching book I am going to finish soon! #CoachADV
• Blog more in 2019 than I did in 2018 (26 posts).
