The Armor We Carry Around
Kevin McCarthy, and Likky Lavji
The “armor” we carry around can refer to the emotional barriers or defenses we put up to protect ourselves from emotional pain or vulnerability. This can manifest in various ways, such as:
- Walls: We might build walls around ourselves to keep others out and protect ourselves from getting hurt.
- Denial: We might deny or repress our feelings to avoid dealing with them.
- Perfectionism: We might strive for perfection in an attempt to avoid criticism or failure.
- Avoidance: We might avoid certain situations or people that trigger painful emotions.
- Control: We might try to control everything in our lives as a way to manage anxiety or fear.
We explore this and more in our Awareness Advantage podcast. Check out our episodes, and go from being a good manager–to a great leader!
Raising your self-awareness and emotional intelligence will make you a better leader. High self-awareness equips you to identify and conquer the blind spots that lead to poor decisions, strained relationships and high levels of stress. Awareness is the leader’s superpower that drives engagement, inspires retention and shifts culture. Awareness gives you the advantage you need to influence and inspire the people you lead.
