Self Awareness

Self Awareness

“Self-awareness consists of a range of interpersonal (the perception of others and individual behaviours) and intrapersonal components (beliefs, values, strengths, weaknesses, motivations, internal mental state and physiological responses), which through developing enables self-connection and then connection with others.”

Julia and Self Awareness

Julia has had a long-standing interest in self-awareness stemming from when she was designing and running assessment and development centres. During her training to become a coach she realised that working on her own self-awareness was what was enhancing her effectiveness, this led to a journey in self-development and study, resulting in PhD research exploring the role if self-awareness in the development of the coach.

What is Self Awareness

Self-Awareness is something that many of us talk about, yet do we really know what it is? Read more here:

Although Julia’s research explored the role of self-awareness in the development of the coach, the research is relevant to leadership and leadership development. Working on our own self-awareness enables us to develop self-connection, without which we are unable to develop human connection and lead others effectively. Daniel Goleman highlighted the importance of self-awareness in being emotionally intelligent; and Jim Collins in his work looking at ‘good to great leaders’ highlighted the relevance of self-awareness in ‘great’ leaders. Julia’s research takes this a step further in clarifying exactly what self-awareness is and has identified that actually we are unable to connect with (and lead) others without working on and developing our own self-awareness, then self-connection. If you want to find out more, please contact Julia. Julia is available for keynote addresses or speaking on this topic.

You can read more about Julia’s research in her published academic papers which are available to download below.
