In this episode of ICommunicate, Mark discusses how self-reflection and introspection can lead to setting and accomplishing meaningful goals as well as improving workplace culture to encourage cross-collaboration.

Segment 1:

It’s one thing to set goals, but another to be aware of the progress we’re making towards those goals. How can setting specific, tangible goals benefit our self-awareness? Why is it so important that we understand our weaknesses as much as our strengths?

Segment 2:

As leaders, it’s essential for us to reflect on our strengths, weaknesses, and how we’re affecting our team. Why is it essential for us to create a culture of vulnerability, where people feel comfortable asking for feedback? Why should we seek discomforting evidence and question our assumptions when it comes to our own self awareness?

Segment 3:

After we self-reflect and understand our strengths and weaknesses, it comes time for us to find ways to apply what we’ve learned. What questions should we be asking about ourselves and our teams to figure out what areas need improvement? How can we use introspection in our day to day lives?

Segment 4:

We can be motivated to make changes, but if we don’t have the awareness to understand what steps need to be taken to improve, we’ll fall short. How much time and effort should we be putting towards introspection? How can introspection lead us to uncover problems that may be holding back our teams?
