Self and situational awareness, ‘recognise and respond rather than react.’  

In this episode, Lee discusses and explains the importance of recognising and responding rather than reacting. He also explains how this can have a positive affect on your personal and professional life. Listen into this episode to learn more!  

   

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Your body recognises a need and responds to it e.g. When you need food you get hungry. When you’re more aware of these signs it can help you personally or professionally. 
A number of books, self-help podcasts and physical books mention being present in time. For me, this means driving the voice in your head rather than letting it drive you.    
Someone with a negative attitude lets facts control their behaviour. E.g. if it’s raining they wont go play in the rain just because it’s raining. 
Does your environment support recognising and responding? Ask yourself how to respond rather than react. 
It’s all about creating an enabling environment of trust.  
Be aware of how in control of your feelings you are. Ask yourself how in control of your feelings are you.  

 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘If you can recognise you’re in this space then you can respond rather than react to it.” 

“Being aware of that voice in your head, as often as you can be, is very powerful.” 

“Being in control of that voice in your head will allow you to influence what it says which can affect your behaviour and the way you react.” 

“Someone with a negative attitude lets facts control their behaviour.” 

“Every response is an opportunity to learn and have responsibility.”
