Self Awareness is your Superpower!

In this episode of The Balanced Leader Podcast, I argue that self-awareness is a superpower for effective leadership. Drawing wisdom from Aristotle's words, I share my personal journey as a recovering over thinker with a relentless monkey mind. Self-awareness, as defined by emotional intelligence expert Dan Goleman, becomes a cornerstone for leadership success, fostering productive and creative teams.

I share my practical tips for developing self-awareness; from journaling to seeking professional guidance. The episode concludes with a real-life example of a leader, illustrating how self-awareness catalysed her transformation and improved her team's dynamics.

Ultimately, the key takeaway is the significance of embracing self-reflection, acknowledging areas for improvement, and taking proactive steps to cultivate the leadership superpower of self-awareness.
