• Identify emotions and put them into words
• Observe oneself while functioning
• Think about ones’ thinking
Without self-awareness…
• Easier to blame others
• Lack of self-correcting

What’s the Difference?
Conversation: Sharing information and ideas in order
to express one’s views without any intended impact
on the listener.
Discussion: Sharing information and ideas in order to
accomplish a specific task.
Debate: Sharing information and ideas in an effort to
bring others into agreement or alignment with one’s
position or belief.
Dialogue: Sharing ideas, information, experiences
and assumptions for the purposes of personal and
collective learning.
Try this!
•Separate intent from impact.

“Happy people remember more good
events than actually happened
, and they forget more of the bad events.
Depressed people, in contrast, are accurate about both.”

The stories we tell ourselves about our
own lives eventually become our lives.
