Have you been in conversations criticizing leaders and team members who seemed to have low self awareness? Have you wondered if you could be a conversation topic among your colleagues?
What is the impact if you are a poor observer of yourself?
Consider some of these possibilities when you are a poor observer of self:
▶ You project your anger / insecurities on others
▶ You believe that people must be able to see your point of view and you name it as common sense
▶ You believe you show up with the same level of performance daily and ignore the impact of your moods and emotions
▶ You expect people to live out standards that you can’t
▶ You say “Yes” to one thing without knowing that decision means saying many “No” to other things and vice versa
▶ You have a strong opinion that you put forth as a truth, not knowing that your opinion says more about who you are than the matter itself
The above 6 statements are part of a coaching resource on uncovering blindspots. These are common observations based on more than a thousand hours of coaching practice as an ontological coach.
