Enter the world of Self-awareness – or lack of it

“To know yourself, you must sacrifice the illusion that you already do.”
— Vironika Tugaleva

Self-awareness and relationship management are essential for success. Self-awareness is high in a large percentage of high performers. What is the connection? The human connection is often overlooked. Self-awareness promotes resilience, engagement, conflict resolution, and sound decision-making. The advantages of being self-aware include being aware of one’s own strengths and weaknesses, as well as unresolved life issues. The benefits of self-awareness will be highlighted and explored in this chapter. They include the ability to adapt and manage emotions, making decisions that are based on or aligned with your values, and maintaining business and personal relationships in order to be more fulfilled.

Business leaders who are self-aware can be more effective and efficient managers. They encourage and support others to excel in their areas of strength, which improves satisfaction, increases productivity, and has a positive impact on all aspects of life.

Emotions can run high in a variety of settings, including the workplace. Take the time to examine your emotions. Determine what triggered your emotions and be mindful when they rise in certain situations. Keep a journal to record your experiences and then review it on a regular basis to track any changes. Take a break if you feel yourself becoming emotional about something. Either step outside for a few moments, or take deep breaths and simply notice what you’re feeling in a detached manner.

We can learn a lot by observing how other people interact. So, first, consider how you frequently respond and the reactions you receive. Are they favorable or unfavorable? Do your actions motivate or demotivate your employees? Do your words enthrall or lull investors to sleep? Then, observe how other people interact with one another to determine which behaviours and words seem to work best. Change up your phrases, body language, and responses and see what happens. By observing how others interact, you can then experiment on your own.

Be open to feedback on your behavior from others, especially those close to you. When they offer advice, don’t get defensive; instead, consider what you can learn from their perspectives. In addition, solicit direct feedback from colleagues on how you perform in meetings or interact with others. Inquire, “What do I do well?” “How can I improve?”

Observing your reactions to others is part of being self-aware. So don’t just nod and gesture as if you’re paying attention. Instead, pay attention when someone else speaks, then pause and respond thoughtfully. The person must be heard, but by being self-aware, we can avoid shooting from the hip. Take a deep breath and then respond calmly.

Take an honest look at yourself and your actions, and set some goals as a result. Perhaps you want to be more helpful to others, ask better questions, or communicate more effectively. At the end of the day, assess how well you did in meeting these objectives. Consider your life to be an experiment in which you are attempting to improve yourself and collecting data on how well you are doing. Self-awareness is the process of learning about oneself, and it is something that we can all do.

Now, you can only get behavioural goals when you know what your core behaviours are.

A lot of people only know about the behaviors that they have adapted over a period of time. Your underlying self can be a lot more different from the sense of self that you are used to.

When you take the PRISM Self-awareness inventory, you get a multitude of knowledge about your behavior preference and how you can adapt for an improved performance.

You get an insight of

• Why do you behave the way you behave?
• How can you adapt to get what you want?
• What are the ideal career choices for you?
• How much do you score on the emotional intelligence scale?

And much more. You are the only one who can take charge of your own development, no one else can make that happen for you. Get to know yourself better.
