Are you having the impact that you hope for in your life? We are all leaders and contributors to this world. And as such, we want to impact not only our own lives, but others lives, and the businesses and organizations that we are involved with.
Self-awareness plays a critical role in how we influence and impact the world within and around us. You may be somewhat aware of your thoughts, feelings, and perhaps some behaviors. But, are you aware of how those actions and behaviors impact other people?
Are you aware of how others see you and what you do?
Knowing yourself, your values, strengths, preferences, and habits will give you information about how your actions are both performed by you and received by others. Being more self-aware will allow you to look at yourself on a deeper level so that you can make better decisions, improve your critical thinking skills and become a stronger leader and contributor.
Knowing yourself is the key to impacting the world around you. If you know how you affect others, you can make adjustments so that you can more effectively hear and be heard. You will learn where your blind spots exist, and how you are getting in your own way.
Are old habits or beliefs getting in the way of you making progress in your life? Are they getting in the way of you being more effective? Are they getting in the way of your success?
What is it that you need to improve on? What are those areas of development that need work? You can’t improve if you don’t know what you need to improve on. Can you identify the gaps in your skills, your thoughts, your actions, and develop a plan to improve them?
