The Self-Awareness Mindset Shift That Changes Everything (Before It’s Too Late)

Hey...you...yes you!


If there’s one thing I wish I had truly understood earlier, it’s this:


Self-awareness isn’t just about knowing yourself—it’s about understanding how you impact others.

For years, I thought being “self-aware” meant recognizing my strengths and weaknesses. But what I didn’t realize was that true self-awareness goes beyond introspection—it’s about recognizing how my emotions, behaviors, and leadership style shape the way others experience me.


I work with clients in leadership who truly believe they are "doing their best" yet, still have these lingering questions because they have received not so favorable feedback:


🔹 Have you ever wondered why some people misunderstand you? 

🔹 Or why certain conversations feel more difficult than they should?

🔹 Or why you keep hitting the same roadblocks in your personal or professional growth?


The answer often lies in blind spots—the gaps between how we see ourselves and how others perceive us.


And until we uncover them, they can hold us back in ways we don’t even realize.


💡 Here’s what I wish I knew sooner:


✅ Self-awareness isn’t just about reflection—it’s about feedback. If you’re not actively seeking insight from others, you’re missing half the picture.

✅ Your emotions are contagious. How you show up—stressed, calm, engaged, or distracted—sets the tone for those around you.

✅ Growth happens when you ask yourself better questions. Instead of “Why is this happening to me?” try “What is this teaching me?”


When you deepen your self-awareness, you become a more effective leader, communicator, and problem solver. You gain clarity, make better decisions, and strengthen relationships - which strengthens Trust!


Not convince yet? I get it. Take a listen to this!
