This year's International Women's Day is themed 'Accelerate Action'. I have been thinking about internal barriers that inhibit us from accelerating action for ourselves owing to the conditioned cultural narratives we carry within us.
“Self-awareness is the foundational leadership skill of the twenty-first century. Leaders who know who they are, and how they’re seen by others, are more effective, confident, respected, and promotable.” – Tasha Eurich
Research has shown that women leaders have an advantage over their male counterparts when it comes to self-awareness. Their self-ratings on self-awareness are higher than men’s. Women leaders are rated higher in self-awareness by their direct reports, managers, and peers. Research also shows that women are more likely than men to modify how they see themselves when they receive feedback.
This, at times, may be problematic. Over-valuing how others see us can result in self-censorship that inhibits one from bringing forth one’s unique gifts and contributions. One of the fears influencing the self-modification is perhaps the fear of losing membership and belonging. |

There is a beautiful story shared by an elder from the Zulu tribe in Africa that was retold by Helen Luke, an American Jungian analyst, folklorist, and mythologist in her book “The Way of the Woman”. The story invites us to follow our own deeper wisdom to claim our power and overcome the fear of losing belonging.

MBTI®
Quick Tips : Communicating with
Type in Mind
When interacting with others, individuals tend to initially filter and interpret what they hear and see differently based on their type preferences. So, the more you know about a colleague’s type, the more quickly you can learn to understand, appreciate and accommodate any differences in your communication styles and more effectively share your opinions, understand his or her perspective, solve problems and resolve issues.

MBTI® Quick Tips : Using Type to Foster
Individual Development
Whether you are a manager, coach or peer, there are countless opportunities in the workplace to
influence positive change and to help others grow. Practising behaviours with others that help you
strengthen your less developed preferences can benefit you personally as well as professionally.
Although the prospect might seem daunting, it’s really easy to offer practical suggestions if you are aware
of an individual’s type preferences.
