Developing an Awareness Mindset for Personal Excellence and Improved Relationships (Half-Day)

The Power of Self-Awareness

Sheryl Sandberg, former COO of Facebook, once stated, “We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.” This quote encapsulates the essence of self-awareness, a critical trait for personal wellness and success. In our fast-paced, hyper-connected world, many individuals struggle to remain present amidst constant distractions. Developing self-awareness allows us to better understand ourselves, our environments, and our interactions with others. By enhancing this capability, we can improve our emotional regulation, foster healthier relationships with friends, family, and colleagues, and ultimately achieve greater personal wellness.
