In this episode, John and Ali focus on the importance of External Self-Awareness, including how to navigate some of the nuances and traps of external feedback, both from a process perspective...and from a very personal perspective.

In this episode, John and Ali explore the internal side of Self-Awareness, which is all about self-discovery and gaining an understanding of how our leadership behaviors are generated through our own individual brain wiring and responses to threats and uncertainty.

In this episode, Ali and John explore a classic awareness tool called the Johari Window and how we can use the the panes of that window to frame the impacts of our behaviors. We also begin discussion of Internal Awareness, which help us understand what we need to be "self-aware" about.

Ali and John continue their discussion on the importance of leaders acquiring Human Awareness, with a discussion of how are brains are wired by the circumstances from our past (and present) lives.
