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.
