THE ART OF AWARENESS: How to Recognize and Respond to Your Emotions and the Emotions of Others

This book is about Awareness, the Science of Making Sense of Complex Situations. It's the revised and updated 2024 edition.

It was created for you and everyone in the workforce, regardless of your occupation, position, or level of authority, to help you achieve the effectiveness and success you deserve.

Awareness is the ability to recognize and respond to one's own emotions, those of others, a changing situation, and the external environment.

It’s one of twenty books that comprise a program called SUCCESS MADE SIMPLE, designed to help you achieve your true potential.

The first ten books focus on these ten core competencies:
Followership, Delegating, Planning, Organizing, Communicating, Problem-Solving, Awareness, Training, Motivating, and Character-Building.

I created this series to give you the essential best practices and critical success skills needed to rise above the crowd, be the best at whatever you do, and stand out rather than just fit in.

This book will give you a greater understanding of Awareness, its definitions, importance, and how to enhance it.

Effective people have a natural connection and affinity with others, which helps them better understand their strengths and weaknesses.That special quality is Awareness.

Awareness demands an understanding of context, accurate assessments of the situation, and the ability to make sense of complex problems.

Here are the types of awareness addressed in this book:

1. Self-Awareness:
Self-awareness is the ability to perceive, feel, or be conscious of your emotions, thoughts, feelings, intellect, instinct, intuition, and the emotions of those around you.

2. Organizational Awareness:
Organizational awareness is the ability to perceive, feel, or be conscious of your external environment, including events, circumstances, internal and external politics, social responsibility, and community.

3. Spiritual Awareness:
Spiritual awareness is the ability to realize that a power greater than you created you and everything around you and the recognition that there is a higher purpose for your life—you just need to find it.

Any failure to consistently enhance these skills will diminish your effectiveness and success in business.

This is why it’s in your best interest to master the ART of Awareness.

By learning, using, and sharing these actionable tactics, techniques, and tools, you’ll be well on your way to becoming the one who adds the greatest value to your team—making you essential. Enjoy the book.

To your SUCCESS!
