Are you aware of how you come across to people at work? Do you know what people say about you when you’re not in the room? Ideally, what people say would closely align with how you believe you’re showing up. If it does, then you are probably pretty self-aware. If it doesn’t – or if you’re not sure – now is a good time to take a closer look.
