"THE 21ST CENTURY META-SKILL: SELF-AWARENESS"
Helping teams and leaders unlock one of the most powerful skills in the 21st Century – that of Self-Awareness.
In the past decade, we have become more anxious, more depressed, less confident in our decision making and more worried about how we present ourself to the world. Whilst this is something of an exaggeration and does not apply to everyone, there is certainly a huge number of studies that support this and shows that this is applicable to much more people than it used to be.
So why is it then, that some people perform to higher levels than others and have more fulfilling relationships than others despite having the same resources and similar upbringing? It comes down to Self-Awareness – touted by many as the number 1 meta-skill for the 21st Century.
Unlocking your team’s self-awareness will help you to better manage and regulate your emotions, improve your communication skills, improve your decision-making abilities, elevate your work and personal relationships, gain higher levels of happiness, feel more confident, have increased job satisfaction and ultimately have more effective leadership skills.
For maximum impact – It is recommend that this program is delivered both as a keynote and workshop.
BY THE END OF THIS SESSION YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:
- Understand what self-awareness is and it’s importance
- Gain valuable insights into what is holding you back and accelerate your learning
- Give you real-time reflection with input and insights from others
- Leave with valuable insights and for ongoing growth and development

“A skilled professional with great communication and influential skills but not only. His knowledge of behavioural psychology and self awareness is incredible.
Has a great ability to keep the crowd interested with valuable tips and a great sense of humor. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn or get skilled in the art of persuasion or influence and self awareness.”.
