Self Aware Leaders - The Foundation of Executive Excellence

Session Overview

Exploring the internal and external facets of self-awareness in leadership.

In this compelling session, Ashish Mahajan discusses how self-awareness serves as the meta-skill of the 21st century. He delves into why, despite 95% of people believing they are self-aware, the actual figure is closer to 10-15%. Ashish explores the profound impact that a lack of self-awareness can have on team performance, stress levels, and organizational success.

Ashish shares practical frameworks for developing both internal self-awareness (understanding our own values and passions) and external self-awareness (understanding how others view us), helping leaders bridge the gap between intent and impact.
