Listen "The Self-Awareness Secret: It's Not Just About You (It's About Them), with Elissa Zylbershlag"
Episode Synopsis
OverviewIn this episode of "Rooted2Thrive," host Rochelle Peterson-Ansari speaks with Elissa Zylbershlag, an anti-bias educator and leadership coach, about the critical concept of self-awareness. Zylbershlag defines self-awareness using an analogy of "the mirror and the portrait": "the mirror" represents our private self-perception, including our values and intentions, while "the portrait" represents our public impact and how others perceive us. She shares personal and professional stories illustrating how understanding this distinction is vital for personal growth, effective leadership, and elevating humanity by aligning intent with impact. The conversation emphasizes that true self-awareness requires the courage to look at the "portrait" others have of you, even when it's difficult, and highlights practical ways for leaders to grow, such as seeking coaching and recognizing "alarm clock moments" that signal an opportunity for deeper insight.Topics Covered in This Episode:Defining Self-Awareness: The Mirror & The Portrait Aligning Intentions with Impact Leadership Transformation Through Feedback The Role of a Coach in Gaining Insight "Alarm Clock Moments" for Growth Guest Information:Elissa ZylbershlagOwner | Facilitator | Creator | CoachSocial Media:Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575085440139Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/workwiselabs/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elissazylbershlag/Website: www.workwiselabs.comCheck out more content and ways to connect with us:➡️ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/perceptions/➡️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/perceptionsunlimited➡️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/perceptionsunlimited/➡️ Email: [email protected] ➡️ Website: www.perceptionsunltd.comPlease feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below!Thank you for tuning into Rooted2Thrive: Conversations That Elevate Our Humanity!
