How Can You Become More Self-Aware And Ripple Out More Positive Impact On Your Team

This week, with 300+ HR Professionals and Leaders attending, it was my honour and pleasure to present the opening keynote on Day 2 of the 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗥 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 presented by Maldives Association of HR Professionals- MAHRP in the Maldives.

Entitled 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻: 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀, I talked about:

⭕ Controlling our presence by being more self-aware and emotionally intelligent.

⭕ Having direct presence by being trustworthy and influential.

⭕ Having subtle presence by being empathic and listening to understand.

After my talk participants said:

💬 “What you said about empathy and self-awareness is so important and relevant now more than ever, here in The Maldives and elsewhere.”

💬 “Your passion and knowledge ignited my curiosity to dive deeper into the areas you spoke about to upgrade myself in these areas.”

💬 “The experiential learning session was enriched with engaging activities, energizers and real-world case studies. Every moment was cherished, making the session a valuable learning opportunity.”

I even also won a free domestic roundtrip ticket courtesy of Maldivian, the national airline of Maldives. Yay! 😊

After my talk, we had some discussion about which is more important: to have empathy or to be influential?

And what about you? Which do you think is more important: to have empathy or to be influential? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
