She highlighted that only 10-15% of people are truly self-aware, and this lack of awareness often leads to issues like "quiet quitting" and toxic work environments. Chilcoat emphasized the need for leaders to seek feedback, engage in self-reflection, and manage their emotions. She suggested strategies like journaling, finding a mentor, and taking breaks to regulate emotions. Chilcoat also stressed the significance of emotional intelligence and the benefits of diverse workforces.
