Our families are our first experience within an organizational structure. Be it a start-up, a small partnership or in my case, the one pictured above - a highly structured hierarchical machine, this is where we first form the stories we tell ourselves.

The past year has moved all of us in multiple ways. Economic and social challenges, the shift to a virtual existence, changing expectations and altered and competing priorities are just some of the impacts of COVID on our professional lives.

Developing greater self-awareness is the first and most important step in investing in yourself. It is about recognizing and understanding how you show up to others as well as owning how you think about yourself. How can you become more self-aware?

The start of the New Year is when many of us determine to reset our priorities. These resolutions often reflect our desire to live healthier and more fulfilling lives – to be better leaders or make a major life change.
