238: Don’t let this become unbalanced

Intro We are not "balance" people. Obviously, some things need balanced: Today talk about self-awareness The Problem Give a picture of self-awareness: Ripple effects of your decisions and your presence. The problem is when others awareness of you exceeds your own level of self-awareness. What happens when that becomes unbalanced: You keep making messes that you're unaware of. You slow down because you always have to re-calibrate yourself to current reality. You will eventually lose your leadership. People will deal with a mess when you're winning, never when you're losing: Coaches What makes this so Tricky: Others, always, have a better a view of you than you do. Literally: YOU CAN'T SEE YOU! So you don't know what it's like when you enter the room, or leave it! Which means: Self-Awareness if not about gifting, it's about the discipline to gain that perspective. Not Gifting: When someone says, "I'm really self-aware", they're not. Or they were at one time, but they're not. There are habits of self-awareness that must be cultivated.
