Welcome to another episode of The Steam Engine Podcast, where Lucy and Jay continue with part two of the self-awareness theme. In this episode, the hosts discuss the complex topic of self-awareness and the importance of understanding who we are. They dive into internal self-awareness, discussing how being aware of our internal feelings, desires, and values can help us make better decisions and react to situations in a more productive and positive manner. Our internal self-awareness also reduces stress, anxiety, and depression and improves job satisfaction and productivity. This episode also covers:

●      The importance of external self-awareness, particularly for leaders

●      The impact of not having external self-awareness and not fully appreciating how others perceive you

●      How this impacts people, with an example of a manager who multitasks during meetings, giving the impression that they are not fully present

●      How this behavior can make others feel unimportant and explore the potential consequences of this in a business setting

●      The importance of external self-awareness and the need for leaders to be present and attentive in their interactions with others

Join us and listen to this crucial aspect of personal growth and development!
