Emotional Intelligence > Self Awareness
Self Awareness is probably one of the most versatile skills you can learn.
What is our ‘take’ on Self Awareness?
When we think on it, it’s about making sure we are doing all we can, to help other people’s experience of us, be an enjoyable one.
We ask ourselves, “Are we doing everything in our power to make sure our actions and involvement in this situation are clear and positive?”
We use self awareness to help make sure the answer to that questions is “yes”.

‘User Manual of Me’.

The process of defining those instructions is the growth of your self-awareness.
It looks a little like this:

Better collaborators through deeper shared understanding of each other.
Better communicators through the emergence of more empathetic tendencies .
Individuals become more resilient and adaptable to situations they are faced with.
