If you don’t first understand yourself, you’ll never be able to understand and interact with the world around you. We’ve talked about the concept of emotional intelligence a lot on the Human Optimization Project, with the four main components being 1) Self-Awareness; 2) Self-Management; 3) Social-Awareness, and 4) Social-Management. Today, we are going to focus on all things related to “Self-Awareness.” Our expert to help us with this is executive coach, Kimberly Collins.

The three big questions we have for her are:

1. What is Self-Awareness, and how does it fit into the bigger picture of “Emotional Intelligence”?

2. Why is true Self-Awareness rare, and what modern traps keep us from understanding ourselves?

3. What steps can one take to start improving their Self-Awareness in a meaningful way?

If you lead a group, team, family, or set of friends in any way, I’m sure you’d like to be able to boost morale, increase engagement, decrease turn over, and improve creativity. Well, one scientifically backed way to do that is to become a “servant leader.” Multiple studies show substantial improvements for groups who are directed by servant leaders; and data also suggests that it improves the joy of the leaders themselves. Our expert guest for this topic is Heidi Dieter, Chair of the Department of Research Administration at Mayo Clinic.

The three big questions we are going to work through are:

1. What is high-quality praise, and how does it impact others?
2. Why do so many of us hesitate—or misfire—when giving praise, and how does that shortfall impact us?
3. What steps can we take to be more effective of praising others in our lives?

In a world that sometimes bends towards negativity, complimenting and giving praise is may seem like a lost art. But this is exactly why we need to be giving praise now more than ever! The impact that praise has (on both the receiver and the giver) is massive, so it is something that we should all be doing more frequently. To help us understand why, our guest today is Natalie Caine, Chief Administrative Officer of Mayo Clinic in Rochester.

The three big questions we have for Natalie are:

1. What is high-quality praise, and how does it impact others?

2. Why do so many of us hesitate—or misfire—when giving praise, and how does that shortfall impact us

3. What steps can we take to be more effective of praising others in our lives?
