Tech skills are important, but self-awareness has been essential for me in the tech world. It’s about understanding how my actions impact others, taking feedback constructively, and continuously improving. Developing this skill has made a real difference in both my personal and professional growth. How do you build self-awareness? #SelfAwareness #TechSuccess #EmotionalIntelligence Thanks, Elaiza Benitez
