Use of self

Use of Self is the practice and acknowledgement that how a person "show's up" directly influences their ability to operate with intention:

• Awareness of self and surroundings

• Tone

• Body language

• Preparedness

• Participation and engagement style

• Attitude

• Communication style 

Self-awareness, the first and foundational of the four Emotional Intelligence (EQ) skills, is at the heart of an individual's ability to effectively engage with others.

Self = You. At home, at work, everywhere you go, there you are. You bring the culmination of your life's experiences with you.

The better a person knows themselves, the better able they are to navigate relationships, opportunities, adversity, and conflict.

In short, your Use of Self is the confluence between intention and impact: You are the most important tool in your professional toolbox.

Understanding how you "show up" requires an investment equal to the influence and impact you would like to have.

Awareness is the gift of choice: What you are aware of, you can see, explore, understand

amplify, modify, change, or let go of.
