Day 279 - Self-Awareness in Leadership

Self-Care + Self-Love + Self-Compassion is the gateway to Self-Awareness.

I’ve learned that it is imperfectly okay to be self-aware.

Our self-awareness is the location that we keep and protect our vulnerability.

When we trust each other to share, it opens the bandwidth for trust and rapport to be developed.

In December, I gifted myself Michelle Obama’s new book: The Light We Carry.

It was a great book and I highly recommend it for a good read.

Her book took me down a path of memories, reminiscing and knowing that who I am, who I continue to be and who I am still becoming is the exact place on this journey.

The light that I carry has been dimmed over several decades.

I have chosen to maintain my light as quite frankly the world needs more light.

Carrying my light represents:

✔️Heart-Centered in all I am and all I do

✔️Being bold

✔️Continuing to shine and use my voice

✔️Being confident

✔️Leaving space for equanimity

✔️Maintaining perspective

✔️Honouring my connection with people

Each ✔️needs each other to be successful.

Who has asked you for help?

Who answers, “I’m fine.”

Who has stopped speaking in meetings?

Write that speech as your words matter.

Be who you are. 💜
