Use these insights to make the most of the opportunities that present themselves in these discontinuous times.
-
Even though you live in a very status oriented society, it’s critical for your health, sense of identity and overall well being that you accept that you are not your job title.
- Knowing your strengths and weaknesses is the key to knowing yourself well.
- Knowing yourself helps you to be clear about your core values. Self knowledge helps you to be clear about the things that you can be flexible about.
- If you know, acknowledge and are grateful for your skills and abilities you are more likely to be successful in this millennium. If you acknowledge your skills and are grateful for them, you’ll find it easier to influence others
- Self confidence and bravado (bigging yourself up) are two different things. I strongly recommend self confidence ahead of bravado.
- The world around us is always changing.
- We can use our adaptability to respond to change.
- We can use our self awareness to anticipate change.
- We have the capacity to keep on changing.
- We can transform ourselves by making a habit of continually changing and developing ourselves for our own and the world’s betterment.
