Episode 491 The Surprising Truth of You: Part 4

The Dr CK Bray Show

Self-Awareness is the meta-skill of the twenty-first century. Dr. Bray has recently been studying self-awareness in the workplace and shares the latest research on how self-aware the individuals are you work with. (buckle-up some of the research is shocking!) But more importantly insight into how both internally and externally aware you are.

Research shows that only about 10-15% of people are truly self-aware. The rest of us have blind spots and biases that prevent us from accurately understanding our own behavior and its impact on others. In the last of this four-part series on self-awareness, Dr. Bray discusses three tools to help increase your self-awareness. The best part of these tools is they take only minutes to utilize yet have lasting results.

Dr. Bray also discusses the largest barrier to self-reflection and how it impedes our ability to become self-aware and create personal insights. Dr. Bray shares examples from research on journaling, pressing pause, and mindfulness. You don’t want to miss this engaging and informative podcast. Thanks to Tash Erich’s incredible book on this subject and her extensive research.

QUOTES BY DR. BRAY “One of the most important journeys you will ever take is the journey of finding out who you are.” “Rumination prevents insight and masquerades as productive introspection.”
