Self Awareness and Emotional Intelligence in Leadership with Dr. Dorrian Aiken
How often do you check in with yourself? Dr. Dorrian Aiken would argue that this should be done daily, as a deep understanding of self is the first step toward great leadership. In this episode, we explore how to better know the perspectives we carry with us, the role of emotional intelligence and active listening, and the value of consciousness and connectedness in companies.
Dr. Aiken is a lecturer in Leadership Development and Neuroleadership, a Doctor of Philosophy and a qualified coach. Her passion and skills help clients live into their own ‘best self’ and to free themselves from self-doubt, fear of feature and that little voice that sometimes whispers ‘imposter’.
In the episode, Dr. Aiken touches on insightful frameworks, resources and simple practices to check-in and invest in for personal development. Here is a suggested reading list for further learning:
