In episode 13 of Better@Work, we chat with one of the world’s leading thinkers and researcher on self-awareness, Dr. Tasha Eurich. Tasha shares her insights around why self-awareness is crucial when it comes to understanding ourselves and the people around us, how you go about developing it, what are the biggest misconceptions about it, and what can you do to overcome the blind spots in your self-awareness. Tasha also talks through why she believes being more self-aware is the key to success in work and life.

Tasha Eurich is an organizational psychologist, executive coach, researcher, and New York Times best-selling author of Insight and Bankable Leadership. Tasha has worked directly with 20,000 leaders and spoken live to hundreds of thousands more, with clients including the NBA, Walmart, Salesforce and more, and her TEDx talks have been viewed more than 8 million times. Thinkers50 also named Tasha one of the Top 30 Emerging Management Thinkers in the world, and a Top 50 World Leader in Coaching.

We discuss her most recent book; Insights – The Power of Self- Awareness in a Self-Deluded World

In this episode, we cover…

• What is self-awareness?
• Tasha's advice for improving self-awareness and the simple three questions to ask when brushing your teeth each evening
• How self-consciousness is different to self-awareness and how it can hinder your work life
• The seven Pillars of Insight to become a more insightful worker and person (this was amazing!!)
• How people who are avoiding feedback for their own comfort sometimes underestimate the amount of comfort knowing can give them

Tune in and find out why we have wanted Tasha on the show for some time and enjoy the fun Tasha and I have in this conversation.

On top of all that, I debrief on Tasha’s key insights with my friend Annette Sloan and answer a question from our listener Paul, who has been offered a role overseas and is trying to decide if it will enhance his work and life.
