\nImagine you have decided to travel.<\/i><\/b> You call your travel agent or visit online and share, \u201cI am going to Paris!\u201d \u00a0<\/i><\/span>
\n\u201cGreat!\u201d they respond, then ask. \u201cFrom where are you departing?\u201d<\/i><\/span>
\nAnd you say, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d \u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span>
\nWhat will that agent tell you? \u00a0\u201cSorry, I can\u2019t get you TO somewhere unless we know a FROM. \u00a0Don\u2019t you know where you are right now?\u201d<\/i><\/span>
\nYou may think this scenario silly, yet I encounter it often in coaching. \u00a0<\/b>Vision and goals? \u00a0Yep, lots of those. \u00a0Self-Awareness, clarity around the current starting point? \u00a0Uhm\u2026 well, not so much.
\nTruth is, many people seek personal growth from a place of being lost in the wilderness. \u00a0<\/b>They know they want to be somewhere else, but they have little idea how far they are from their target, what it might take to get there, or how they will know when they arrive.
\nThus AWARENESS is the first, difficult step to create personal change.<\/b> \u00a0To understand where you are now often requires asking new and unusual questions and looking at yourself from other\u2019s perspectives. \u00a0It requires you to stop, look around, and pay attention to what you\u2019re doing (or not), and saying (or not), and thinking (or not), so you can begin to see the distance from here\u2026to there.
\nTry these ten questions to scan and awaken your Awareness. <\/b><\/p>\n\n
Do This For Yourself<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
\nIf you serve in a leadership role at any level, consider this truth: The higher you move in an organization, the more visible to others is your LACK of self-awareness<\/b>, and the more your credibility suffers when you offer feedback in areas where you have yet to acknowledge your own struggle. \u00a0You\u2019ve gotta do the work on you.
\nRemember: Leadership is not about a title. \u00a0<\/b>Anyone can be a Leader who has the vision to say, \u201cWe need to go There!\u201d and the courage to say, \u201cI\u2019m still over Here, but I\u2019m working on me!\u201d<\/span>
