The Secret Ingredient in the Formula for Connection
Speaker: Molly Ketcham, Interaction Expert

Self-awareness is not only the foundation of emotional intelligence, but also the secret ingredient for building relationships, creating confidence and engaging with life. You are half of the equation when you are connecting with another person. The better you understand who you are, the easier it is to discover the connection. The more confidence you have, the more focus you’ll place on others. The broader your perspective, the more open your mindset.

People with high levels of self-awareness have been shown to be high-performers, better negotiators and more effective leaders. Enhance your team communications and effectiveness by discovering and practicing methods for developing self-awareness.
