Most leadership experts agree on one foundational principle: before you can effectively lead others, you must first learn to lead yourself.

But self-leadership begins with self-awareness—understanding who you are, what makes you unique, what you stand for, and recognizing both your strengths, limitations, and your blind spots.

In this LIVE session, I'll share the practical methods I use to become more self-aware, along with three pieces of honest (and not-so-flattering) feedback I've received over the years, how I discovered them, and what I did with that feedback. Whether you're an executive, manager, entrepreneur, or aspiring leader, I hope these lessons help you grow as a leader from the inside out.
