Personal Branding: Boost Your Situational Awareness
When you’re “situationally aware,” you keenly observe your surroundings and pick up on both verbal and nonverbal cues from others. You trust what your gut instincts tell you about what’s happening around you and integrate that knowledge to determine how best to act in the moment. To help guide you, here are five ways to redirect your energy and tune into what’s around you.
Expand Your Capacity to Accept All Aspects of Yourself
A shift in mindset begins with new thought patterns and concepts. The more “real” you get with yourself and focus on what lights you up, the easier it is to start to let go of limiting beliefs and replace them with behaviors and strategies that support where you’re headed. Here are some ways to expand your thinking and Harness your YOU-Ness.
The Paradox Between Time and Patience
If you’re like me and grew up in an environment where time was equated to clichés such as “Don’t waste my time,” “Time is money,” and “Being early means being on time,” you may have also adopted a “rush to get things done, so you can focus on what you’d like to” mentality. Here are a few practices to help you reframe your beliefs and relationship with time and patience.
Communicate With Self-Confidence
When you lose confidence in yourself, you give away your power to someone else. By becoming more self-aware and addressing the root causes of why you’re feeling the way you do, you can free yourself from behaviors and instinctual reactions that no longer serve you. Here are a few reminders of ways to boost your confidence and communicate more effectively.
A Mindful Approach to Communicating
It can be pretty disheartening and disruptive when what we say causes friction rather than connection in our relationships. We may not even be aware of the reason. Our approach—or lack of one—can send the discussion awry. Our mood, vibe, tone, or use of words may trigger a visceral reaction or shut down for the other person. Here are some ways to balance out your tendencies and be more mindful of your communication approach.
Career: Adapting and Responding Quickly
Managing your emotions effectively while being aware of the energy and vibe flowing in the environment are proficiencies you can cultivate. And unless your instinctual nature is acclimating like a chameleon, you’ll most likely need to integrate new behaviors and habits to minimize your “nerves” taking over a conversation. Here are five things you can try when preparing for your next meeting or presentation.
Career Leadership: Inspiring Others
You don’t need a specific job title to motivate and guide others. Taking a more active role in the well-being of others not only positively impacts them but activates the best in you as well. With purpose and practice, you can manage your natural tendencies and boost your skills to inspire others by experimenting with EQ proficiencies outside your usual patterns.
How Others Influence Your Personal Brand
We may not want to admit that we’re all a bit impressionable, depending on who is trying to sway us. Clarity helps you elect when to stay firm and when to flex. Here are five ways to express yourself more clearly and reduce the hold others may have on you.
Personal Branding: Reclaiming Your Authority
If you are feeling unmotivated, overwhelmed, exhausted, or stressed, it may be time to reclaim your authority on how you allocate energy. Your personal brand suffers when you take on more and more activities that directly compete with those you’ve already committed to or things you’d rather be doing. Here are five ways that have helped me find balance and alignment with my personal brand.
