Situational Awareness: Showing Up As Yourself

Ep. 654: Showing Up As Yourself

Having situational awareness (SA) means that the more you show up as yourself, the less the world will question your character. So hear me out. People often think everyone around them is watching, judging, and questioning their choices. That's how we operate, right? This understanding of SA helps you filter out what is relevant information in your operational environment.

Humans are wired in a funny way—we're always watching to see what other people are doing, how they're judging us, and how they're looking at us, right? This situation awareness helps us identify potential threats and avoid dangerous situations, even in our daily interactions.

Some of us have even developed that awareness to the point where we recognize the nuances of the people around us and perceive the future events that could unfold. This allows us to be proactive and successful in what we do, much like air traffic control operators who need constant awareness of the operational environment and communication with team members to manage the flow of planes safely.

Cultivating Situational Awareness: A Path to Embracing Authenticity

Situational awareness guides us through the transition from judging ourselves based on what others think to simply showing up as our best selves. When we are authentic, the world stops questioning us. Authenticity commands respect, and we appreciate it in others too.

So, I want to remind you today to show up as yourself—online, offline, in person, on the phone, wherever. Your authenticity will ring true and give your reputation and character validity, as it does when you pay attention to the potential threats and the shifting dynamics in your environment. In both personal and professional settings, improving situational awareness helps you gain confidence and credibility.

Through situational awareness, we all want to feel validated. We all want to think that what we're doing has a purpose and meaning and brings happiness to the people around us and, more importantly, ourselves. If you've been in a situation recently where you felt people were questioning you or doubting your character, enhancing situation awareness can help you avoid such uncomfortable moments. 

Situational awareness is important for helping you stay grounded in the moment!

Being aware of your operational environment allows you to stay ahead of dangerous situations. Think of how air traffic control uses color coding to identify threats and ensure the smooth flow of operations. When you pay attention to the signs around you, you can avoid missteps in life and work.

When you show up authentically, nobody can question it. You’re operating with a clear, heightened sense of awareness, and that’s something others will respect.
