Hey There 👋 

Happy Better Yourself Friday! Incase you feel like the year already feels like it’s moving fast, you’re not alone 😅Let’s slow it down a bit to focus on something that often gets overlooked but makes all the difference, self-awareness. Because before you chase opportunities, build skills, or optimise your CV, it helps to know who you are, how you work, and what truly matters to you. This is truly an important moment for anyone who asks themselves what’s next. I know that feeling quite personally.

Self-awareness helps you understand your strengths, your triggers, and the environments where you thrive. It’s what allows you to make decisions that feel aligned, rather than forced. When you know yourself, you stop following paths just because everyone else is.
You start choosing paths that make sense for you. And that’s where self-determination comes in, the confidence to back your own choices and take ownership of your journey.

I’d recommend you take 5 quiet minutes this weekend and ask yourself these following questions, what energises me, and what drains me? When do I feel the most confident What kind of work environment helps me do my best? There are no “right” answers, just honest ones. And honesty with yourself is a powerful place to start. Remember, You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need to know yourself a little better than you did yesterday.

So without further ado, here’s another installment of Better Yourself Friday

Let's Gerrit!

What Is Self-Awareness in the Workplace? The Key to Career Growth

Although not everyone will be thinking about this at the same time, understanding yourself is a career superpower. Self-awareness means recognising your emotions, strengths, weaknesses, and how others see you, and using that insight to make better decisions, build stronger relationships, and navigate workplace challenges with confidence.

Professionals with high self-awareness are more effective, adaptable, and ready for growth because they align actions with goals instead of reacting on autopilot.
