Cultivate Self-Awareness

Cultivate Self-Awareness

As a performance and success coach, I am excited to share some insights and strategies to help you cultivate self-awareness and unlock potential, whatever that looks like for you.

Self-awareness is a crucial component of personal and professional growth. By understanding our own strengths, weaknesses, values, and beliefs, we can make informed decisions, communicate more effectively, and build stronger relationships. Both in business and our personal lives.

Here are some ways that I help my clients (and even myself) cultivate self-awareness:

  1. Practice mindfulness: During your day, when things start to bother you, take time to reflect on your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. Starting to understand how we feel helps us to start understanding and identifying patterns, triggers, and areas for improvement.
  2. Seek feedback: Ask for feedback from colleagues, friends, and family members. Be open to constructive criticism and use it to identify blind spots and areas for growth. Hire a coach, find a mentor, join a mastermind. Just find something that works for you.
  3. Use assessments: I use 2 different personality inventory's (or personality tests) with my clients. The Big 5 and Positive Intelligence are the 2 that I use in my coaching practice. Using those assessments with my clients help us both identify behaviours and possible saboteurs that might be impacting success.
  4. Journal: Write down your thoughts and reflections on a regular basis. This can help you process your emotions, clarify your values, and start to identify patterns in behaviour.

By cultivating self-awareness, you can become more effective, productive, and fulfilled in all aspects of your life. As a performance and success coach, I can help you develop self-awareness and use it to achieve your goals.

Self awareness is a key to our success. The second key is action to change the things we become aware that don’t align with our goals.

Journalling is SUCH a powerful tool, especially when we don't censor ourselves. I'm always amazed at how much clarity I can witness in my journalling when I freeflow. There's a point in my journalling that there's a switch that goes off and I'm able to bring clarity to my questions, my doubts, my hopes, actions. In this, I'm able to understand what is actually going on inside me and can release it. Great self awareness tool

Thanks for the article, Donita! I haven't done many personality assessments - but, as they say "what doesn't get measured can't be managed" haha So I am sure I would benefit from some assessing! ;)
