#SelfAwareness.
Do you have it? 🤨
How do you know you have it?
How do you know it isn’t your bias or ego talking?
Do you get angry when questioned about your thoughts, feelings or beliefs? 😡
Why do you feel the way you do?
Why do you act the way you do?
Whose voice do you hear in your head? 📣
We’ve moved on from #ActiveListening to #EmotionalIntelligence at the current Salesforce Consulting Leadership Programme #SCLP24, and we are asking these questions of ourselves.
The key to being self aware is to have the courage to ask difficult questions, and be prepared to hear difficult answers.
It’s difficult because it may mean we are in ‘lack’.
The answers might show that
– we are selfish and our ego is more fragile than we thought
– we are jealous and envious of other people’s success
– we are fearful that we aren’t were we are supposed to be
– we are afraid of what other people will say about us
– we will find out that we “are not enough”.
😓
Who wants to find that out about themselves?!
It is important though, if we want to move forward.
If we want to get “unstuck”.
If you’re afraid to ask these difficult questions of yourself, find a close friend who will be kind and give you the answers you seek in a safe space.
Going through my life with my eyes wide open 👀, and seeing all the scary 💩 around me is far preferable than doing it with my eyes closed.
I just have to make sure I wear some proper wellies that can be hosed off! 👢
