Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a loop — missing opportunities, not quite reaching your goals, and lacking clarity into who you really are and what motivates you? In this episode, Dr. James Bryant provides three powerful tools to help you break out of the cycle through building greater self-awareness. What if you could clearly see your true core values, strengths, impactful habits and blindspots? How much more effective could you be in your leadership, relationships and pursuit of excellence? Listen in as Dr. Bryant guides you through “mirror moments” of honest self-reflection, personality assessments like DISC, and the practice of self-compassion.
