This episode is a little different. Our host, Dr Nia Thomas, recently connected with Turab whose videos on Instagram and YouTube aim to generate more thoughtful leaders and better workplaces. As part of the Turabify movement, Turab interviewed Nia and they talked about leadership, management, self awareness, recruitment, and more. It was such a great conversation. We’re bringing it to you today as a Turabify takeover.
Are you ready to unlock the secrets of self-aware leadership and truly understand how to harness your strengths as a leader?

Check out the conversation Dr Nia D Thomas had about self-aware leadership on the highly acclaimed Happier at Work Podcast with the brilliant Alice O’Brien
Dr Nia Thomas is a thought leader in self-aware leadership and practices self-aware leadership every single day in her role as Director in a Children’s Charity.
She has an allergic reaction when she hears the phrase ‘you shouldn’t care what anyone else thinks’.
We talked about the perils of heeding that advice and how to avoid going the other way and becoming a total people pleaser!
Topics we covered:
How to become aware of your blind spots.
The pros and cons of 360 feedback.
The cautions around self-awareness. How to avoid overthinking every encounter you have with your team.
How you can be an authentic leader whilst taking others’ opinions into account.
How to judge when constructive feedback is useful or noise that should be disregarded.
I joined Amanda Wagg on The Leadership Insights Podcast to talk about self-awareness, getting Alexa stuck on Paolo Nutini and my new book, The Self-Awareness Superhighway
On this episode of Soft Skills for Leaders, my guest is Dr Nia Thomas.
Nia discusses the importance of self-awareness in leadership and provides tips and activities to help people reflect and grow in this area.
The conversation covers a range of themes from inclusive decision-making, to managing stress and emotions through meditation.
Nia emphasises the importance of conscious leadership, seeking unfiltered feedback, and developing both hard and soft skills in order to become a self-aware leader.
If you’re looking to improve your leadership skills and gain some practical tips and insights, this episode is a must-listen.
Dr Nia Thomas JP LLB (Hons), MSc, DBA is the Director of Thoughts and Ideas at Knowing Self Knowing Others. Not only is she wonderful to listen too, but she is the most incredible source of wisdom centring around emotional intelligence and the importance of knowing yourself first and then others. An essential listen for those days that leadership feels like a battle of imposter syndrome and misaligned values. Here’s to great leadership days!
I really enjoyed my conversation with Tom Desch on the Conversations on Leadership Podcast and I was especially privileged to have been their first international guest for their 1st anniversary episode. We talked about my journey to leadership, self awareness and diversity in teams.
