Episode 143 - How To Help Team Members With Self-Awareness

Raychel: Hello, Fearless Feminine Leaders! Today we are tackling the question of:

"How can I help my staff with self-awareness?"

This was a question sent in for our Lead Like A Rockstar event, and we loved it so much we wanted to share it with you, too.

Mandy: Write this down: The #1 thing sabotaging your leadership is a lack of self-awareness. This is true whether you are a business owner, a manager, an employee that wants to be a leader some day, or even just an individual who wants to grow in your leadership skills to lead yourself!

We've got 3 ways you can help your team members with self-awareness. Let's dive in...

Raychel:
1. Speak up about why self-Awareness is important and how it benefits the teams.
-start talking about how self-awareness helped YOU, and initiate conversations around how self-awareness improves communication, collaboration, productivity, better relationships and overall team dynamics.

Mandy:
2. Provide tools, techniques, and strategies for your team to develop self-awareness
- Offer actionable strategies that team leaders and members can use to enhance self-awareness. This could include tools like self-reflection exercises, personality assessments (e.g., Myers-Briggs, Enneagram), etc. also include self-reflection ideas like journaling, mindfulness practices, and regular check-ins to provide mentorship and accountability.

Raychel:
3. Model a Culture of Open Communication and Feedback
- Emphasize the importance of fostering an environment where team members feel safe to express their thoughts and emotions. You should encourage open dialogue, constructive feedback, and vulnerability, which all lead to greater self-awareness.

Mandy:
4. Bring in the professionals
- Explore how bringing in a coach who specializes in leadership and self-awareness to train your team. Outside mentorship and support can help teams in their journey toward self-awareness quicker and more efficiently than doing it on your own. You shouldn’t be the only voice training your team on every topic. Bring in the professionals who can not only provide group training but also one-on-one coaching sessions that focus on personal development, goal-setting, and accountability in cultivating greater self-awareness within the team.

Closing statement: When you start to use all 4 of these methods:
• -speak up about self-awareness
• -provide tools to help your team develop self-awareness
• -model a culture of open communication and feedback
• -bring in the professionals to help your team with accountability and support around building self-awareness

you will see your team members start to grow in their own self-awareness. It takes time though. Don't expect giant leaps of growth, especially if this is a new concept for your team. Stay consistent with the messaging around it and eventually you will see results.
