Ep 79 Grow your relationships with Emotional Awareness

In this episode, Jerry dives deep into the importance of emotional self-awareness and how it can transform your relationships, leadership, and overall life. 

Here are three key takeaways from the episode:

1. Handling Criticism and Feedback: It's crucial to listen more than talk, avoid justifying our behavior, and refrain from attacking or defending ourselves. By practicing active listening and seeking to understand, we can foster healthier communication and growth in our relationships.
2. Managing Stress in Difficult Relationships: We explored the concept of managing stress not only in difficult relationships with others but also within ourselves. Taking ownership of our emotions and actions, and distinguishing between our issues and others' problems, can lead to more constructive interactions and personal growth.
3. Taking Ownership of Emotions: Owning our emotions and actions is key to emotional self-awareness. By acknowledging our feelings, reflecting on feedback, and discerning what to take ownership of, we can navigate relationships and situations with greater clarity and maturity.
