What’s your process for checking your self-awareness? How much of a priority are you putting on your emotional and mental wellness as a leader? When leaders are self-aware and emotionally fit, that's when they’re truly integrated and whole leaders. In this episode, Miles Adcox, owner and CEO of Onsite, an internationally-known emotional wellness lifestyle brand that delivers life-changing personal growth workshops and leadership retreats, shares how to have longevity and accountability as a leader by weaving mental and emotional health practices into your culture. Show notes: You won't last long as a leader if you can't take care of your people. Taking care of the human first is important so that they can produce. Restoring, reflecting, reconnecting, recalibrating who we are so that we can better become who we're supposed to be professionally and personally. Self-awareness is the one thing in leadership that has this unspoken dilemma of a leader and therefore creates (because it's unspoken and unsaid in most environments) an obstacle, but it's only two degrees away from our biggest opportunity. Before you can even take care of others, you have to take care of yourself. Leaders who have shied away from vulnerable conversations or true audit and assessment about themselves and their own lives, should give it a go, and tell me after you finish if you think it's a soft skill or not. Because there's nothing soft about it. It's actually hard because it's counter-cultural. You can’t hold a team accountable until you hold yourself accountable. Leadership can create abnormal life circumstances because it creates high levels of stress. Unaddressed stress creates anxiety, disconnection, loneliness, addictions, et cetera. All of which kill connection, true leadership. So whatever it is that makes a leader a leader, you signed up for a career when you're at the top of your game, to kill it. That's why it's a dilemma. As leaders, it’s your job to start making mental and emotional health a priority and telling people on the front end here's what they’re susceptible of and how to keep their magic and flow. If you take care of yourself you can do it, and here's the ecosystem and environment we're going to create to help you do so. One of the strongest tools that we can teach leaders and human beings is self-awareness. Self-awareness is underestimated because we assume if we're good with people and if we have influence that we assume that we’re self-aware. Reading people well is not a predictor for being able to read yourself and assess what's going on with you. Self-awareness is something that should be maintained, worked on and grown. When leaders are self-aware and emotionally fit, that's when they’re truly integrated and whole leaders. Knowing emotional intelligence and actually feeling it and integrating it are two different things.
