How To Embrace The Superpower of Self-Awareness

Here is a preview of what's inside, along with the main ideas and the meaning behind these. WorkLife is our life at work, where we spend one third of our lives. It is also the impact our work has on our life outside of work, and the impact our life outside of work has on our work. All areas of our life in and out of work are so intrinsically linked, they cannot be separated, nor do I believe should they. I believe WorkLife needs to be considered holistically.

Self-Awareness gives you the ability to take an honest look at your WorkLife to identify and evaluate what is good, bad or indifferent. It allows you to be your own best critic in recognising your strengths and weaknesses, things you want to keep, things you want to improve upon, or things you want to let go of. Taking ownership will energise you to make the small changes, to take the small steps that will make your WorkLife better.

In this book, I tell three stories: 1. Imposter Syndrome: Bill's story of how he was focusing on what he perceived to be his deficits and how through a colleague's intervention he began to become more self-aware in recognising, appreciating and taking ownership of his natural skills and attributes both in and out of the workplace.

2. Start with Where You Are, with What You've Got, and with Who You Are: Maria's story about how she was falling into the trap of being a perpetual student because she wasn't as self-aware as she needed to be about where she was, what she had, and who she was.

3. What Am I Going to Be When I Grow Up? Or Maybe a Better Question Who Am I Going to Be at My Next WorkLife Stage?: Roisin's story about how she had never really found her place in her WorkLife. How she had stumbled from one thing to another, all the time reinventing herself for everyone else. Until a wise woman helped her to tap into her own self-awareness to be able to answer these questions for herself.

I share the exercises that helped to work through these challenging situations to resolve the dilemmas. I present these exercises as the following assignments for you to work through:

Develop a Practice of Insightful and Effective Self-Questioning Assignment This assignment is to help you to use the power of questions to fine-tune your self-awareness.

What Are You Going to Be at Your Next WorkLife Stage Assignment This assignment is to help you to believe in yourself, to believe you have the answer within you, and to believe that that discovery is yours alone through your self-awareness.
