Why Self-Awareness Is More Than Knowing Your Flaws
Manage episode 486858679 series 3619129
What does it really mean to be self-aware? In today’s episode, Dr. Robyne unpacks what it really means to see yourself clearly and kindly. She walks through the four archetypes of self-awareness, explains the difference between internal and external awareness, and shares why recognizing your strengths and what’s working well is just as important as noticing where there’s room to grow. You’ll also hear practical ways to give feedback with care and how inviting in trusted perspectives can help you uncover what you may not always see on your own.
