Increasing Your Self-awareness

December 5, 2007 · No Comments

The greater awareness you have about yourself, the more effective you will be in all that you do in business, your personal life, whatever.

Some of the things which are very useful to know about one’s self are:

  • What are you like as a person? (Behaviors, Personality traits, Quirks)
  • What are your preferences? (Likes, Dislikes)
  • What are your motivations? (What gets you going?)
  • What are your goals? (Life time, Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Daily)
  • How do others perceive you? (Do they think the same as your do?)

There are numerous tests and questionnaires that you can find in books and on the web to help you clarify your answers.

Write these answers down and examine them at length. Do you like what you see? Is this the way you want to be in you life?

Next write down your ideal life (business and personal). Where are you? What are you doing? How are you being as a person?

Compare the lists. What changes do you need to make in your life to achieve your ideal life.

What are some small changes you can make right now to start moving towards your goal?

Some resources where you can start making your life changes:

  • Coaching (of course)
  • Formal Education
  • Training programs
  • Networking
  • Mentoring
  • New assignments at work
  • Lateral transfers at work
  • Working outside your comfort zone everywhere

What ever you decide upon. Get started! Small changes over time lead to large improvements.
