As humans we can easily learn to excel in technical skill areas as learning those isn't a reflection on who we are at the core. However old we are today and how we show up for others across our career and home life, is a culmination of all that we have learned, and not all of it is good! Only around 10% of people grow up to be naturally strong in people skills. The rest of us have to learn and that sometimes means discovering things about ourselves that we had no idea were true - from the perspective of other people. These blog posts have a central theme of self-awareness, regardless of the content - the best thing you can ever do for yourself (and everyone else around you!) is begin the process of self-awareness, navel gazing, and connecting how you show up to how things unfold around you, how people react to you, and making choices about who you want to be in your own life.
