  • In this episode, I discussed self-awareness. We hear this frequently in the workplace, but what should we be mindful of when it comes to self-awareness? I share some strategies to become more self-aware of yourself, your thoughts, perceptions, and how to work and create relationships with others effectively.


  • We all assume, and often we take our assumptions as truths. When we do so, we start to overthink and refuse to look at other alternative explanations which are evidence-based. In this podcast, I share four tips to help you to deal with your assumptions.
