AI can process information. Technology can automate tasks.

But self-awareness, connection, empathy, and the ability to truly see the people around you? Those are deeply human, and theyโ€™re becoming more valuable every day.

Thatโ€™s the heart of my upcoming book, ๐™‚๐™‡๐™„๐™ˆ๐™ˆ๐™€๐™๐™Ž ๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™’๐™ค๐™ง๐™ : ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™Ž๐™š๐™ก๐™›-๐˜ผ๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ง๐™š ๐™‡๐™š๐™–๐™™๐™š๐™งโ€™๐™จ ๐˜ผ๐™™๐™ซ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™œ๐™š.

How often do we use those five words to explain a behavior weโ€™ve stopped questioning?

A strength used consciously is an asset. A strength used automatically can become a liability.

The next time you hear yourself say, โ€œThatโ€™s just how I am,โ€ try asking: โ€œWhen did I learn that this was how I needed to be?โ€

That question creates something powerful: ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ.

When your body is settled, your decisions become clearer. Your reactions slow down. You can stay grounded even when the room gets tense or uncertain.

Thatโ€™s the real power of presence: not standing still, but staying centered while everything around you is moving.

A settled body creates a steadier leader.

Dolly Parton never tried to cover up her past. She embraced her Tennessee roots, honored her fatherโ€™s illiteracy struggles, and transformed his inability to read into something extraordinary: the Imagination Library, which has put hundreds of millions of books into childrenโ€™s hands.

Authentic leadership isnโ€™t about creating a perfect image. Itโ€™s about becoming self-aware enough to recognize your patterns, own your story, and transform what youโ€™ve been given into something meaningful.

You learned how to respond to conflict. How to earn approval. How to protect yourself. How to stay safe.

Those patterns may have served you once, but leadership requires noticing when an old survival strategy is no longer serving your success.

Self-awareness gives you the space to pause, recognize the pattern, and choose a different response.

Think again.

As adults, we simply find better hiding places behind perfectionism, busy schedules, sarcasm, people-pleasing, control, or phrases like, โ€œIโ€™m fine.โ€ Our patterns have become our new favorite hiding spot.

And those patterns donโ€™t disappear when we walk into the workplace, either. They show up when we're under stress and take over our relationships, decision-making, and leadership.

The first step isnโ€™t fixing yourself. Itโ€™s noticing the pattern.

โœจ At 22, Oprah Winfrey was removed from the evening news desk because the very quality that made her different didnโ€™t fit the role.

But when she eventually moved into her new role, something clicked. She could connect. Ask questions. Be curious. Be herself.

The lesson? Not every rejection means you need to try harder. Sometimes itโ€™s a GLIMMER telling you to stop abandoning what makes you uniquely effective.

Ask yourself: ๐—œ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ปโ€”๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฝ ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ผ ๐—œ ๐—ฎ๐—บ?

When you become aware of an old pattern and choose a different response, you donโ€™t just change your own experience. You create a new possibility for the people around you, too.

Iโ€™ve seen this again and again in my work with leaders: when one person changes how they show up, it gives others permission to do the same.

โ€œEvery transformed pattern creates possibility for someone else.โ€

Thatโ€™s one of the ideas I explore in my upcoming book, "GLIMMERS at WORK: The Self-Aware Leaderโ€™s Advantage," about the power of self-awareness to transform how you lead, connect, and create change at work.

Coming this fall. โœจ
