When we’re so busy ‘doing’ work, how can we learn to be better at it? In this three-part mini-series, Cathal Quinlan and Annette Sloan share 9 brain-friendly, bite-sized insights from world experts in workplace relationships, behavioural science and performance. In part one, ‘Better Me’, Cathal and Annette delve into the significance of self-awareness, confidence, and purpose in personal and professional development. They stress that self-awareness serves as the foundation for growth and improvement, helping people to identify areas to improve and how to go about it. We discuss: Personal experiences and insights on how taking the time to reflect and understand our own role in a crisis or challenging situation can be transformative. The importance of understanding our values as a starting point for self-awareness. Values act as a compass, guiding us in our decision-making and goal-setting, aligning them with our core beliefs. Simple, small steps to managing anxiety and growing our confidence. When we have confidence in ourselves and our abilities, we can inspire and motivate our teams to achieve greatness. It's not just about leading, but also about living a more fulfilled life. The significance of paying attention to our feelings and thoughts as a guide for future decisions and goals.
