The Identity Gap

Listen Later

Identity at the individual or the organizational level can impact how we show up, perform, and are perceived by others

Building new skills is a way to embrace the changes required by new situations and roles

      4. AWARENESS - how does this action, feeling, or thought move me forward or hold me back?

      ACTION - How can you back awareness up with action?
