In our September post “No Man Is an Island” we explored the Emotional Intelligence skill of Relationship Management in a contact centre environment and showed how it seems to increase with age.

Self-awareness is the ability to know ourselves – our qualities and limits – and be comfortable in our own skin.
Research to date shows that women outperform men on self-awareness, and our data confirm that this is true also in call centre environments.
But what can we all do to further develop our self-awareness skills?
