The Importance of Self-Awareness

We started off our first Session in 2022 with Raul Palacios, the Executive Pastor at Church by the Glades in South Florida. Raul spoke on the importance of self-awareness in our role of Executive Pastors. Sometimes it can feel like there is a startling lack of emotional intelligence across our ministry teams, and Raul dug in with our Members to uncover how to strengthen our self-awareness.

Raul asked - why do we lack self-awareness?

  • Pride - we have a grandiose view of ourselves

  • We think we work more and work better than everyone else

  • Very few people will tell us the truth about ourselves

  • People lie to us for self-ambition or self-promotion

I encourage you to check out the entire Session, but if you’re unable to, Holly and I recorded this recap.
