Wise Habits Reminders

Tasha Eurich on Growing Self-Awareness

November 21, 2017 Leave a Comment

Tasha Eurich- Full- The One You Feed-

Tasha Eurich is an organizational psychologist who is passionate about researching self-awareness and translating that research into practical, actionable information to aid in our discovery and improvement of our own self-awareness. In this interview, you’ll be introduced to fascinating scientific research about self-awareness and you’ll end up being equipped with some very helpful tools to gauge and grow your own. Since research shows that 95% of people think that they’re very self-aware but in reality, only 10% actually are, statistically speaking, you’re probably going to want to listen to this episode.

She works with executives in Fortune 500 organizations and serves on the faculty of the Center for Creative Leadership.
