Self awareness is this...

Self awareness is that...

Self awareness is a communication superpower...

OK, but HOW do I improve my self awareness AND become a better communicator???

SO GLAD YOU ASKED random stranger who happened to stumble on my little corner of the interwebs.😁

Here's how:

⇢ Daily, write down 3 emotions you felt

⇢ Note what triggered each emotion

⇢ Reflect on how you responded

⇢ Take a REPUTABLE personality test (e.g., MBTI, Big Five) aka NOT on FB

⇢ Note your strengths and potential blind spots

⇢ Consider how your style impacts your communication

⇢ Ask 3 TRUSTED colleagues for honest feedback

⇢ Focus on how you communicate and interact

⇢ Look for patterns in their responses

4. Mindfulness Minutes ⏱️

⇢ Set 3 alarms throughout your day

⇢ When they go off, pause and check in with yourself

⇢ Notice your current emotional state and energy level

⇢ After important conversations, ask yourself:

- How did I feel during this interaction?

- Did my emotions influence my responses?

- What could I have done differently?

⇢ Record yourself in a meeting or presentation

⇢ Watch it back, noting your tone, body language, and word choice

⇢ Identify areas for improvement

YOUR MISSION, should you choose to accept it: Choose ONE of these and commit to it for the next 7 days.

Remember, self-awareness isn't about perfection—it's about progress. As you develop this skill, you'll become a more effective communicator.
