00:00.040 --> 00:03.510
So my definition awareness basically

00:03.520 --> 00:05.520
kind of started with self awareness

00:05.520 --> 00:07.742
more of knowing what your strengths and

00:07.742 --> 00:09.576
weaknesses are . Also be able to

00:09.576 --> 00:11.742
identify those vices that you may have

00:11.742 --> 00:13.909
that could get in the way of you being

00:13.909 --> 00:15.853
able to be an effective leader . I

00:15.853 --> 00:17.853
think a lack of awareness it can be

00:17.853 --> 00:19.464
harmful because maybe you're

00:19.464 --> 00:21.520
overconfident in something and being

00:21.520 --> 00:23.576
overconfident , not aware that maybe

00:23.576 --> 00:25.742
you're not as good as something as you

00:25.742 --> 00:27.853
think you are could lead to a lack of

00:27.853 --> 00:27.440
trust within your organization , it

00:27.440 --> 00:29.496
could lead to unsafe things . So you

00:29.496 --> 00:31.273
always have to be aware of your

00:31.273 --> 00:33.329
surroundings and what your abilities

00:33.329 --> 00:35.329
are and your inabilities . And that

00:35.329 --> 00:37.273
also helps you understand that the

00:37.273 --> 00:37.120
things that you need to work on , so

00:37.120 --> 00:39.064
you can get better and be a better

00:39.064 --> 00:41.009
leader , how I use awareness in my

00:41.009 --> 00:42.620
personal life , just kind of

00:42.620 --> 00:44.960
identifying when I am putting too much

00:44.960 --> 00:47.016
focus on work and not gonna focus at

00:47.016 --> 00:49.238
home just being aware that my son needs

00:49.238 --> 00:51.420
my attention and I need to be focused

00:51.420 --> 00:53.476
on him when I get home focused on my

00:53.476 --> 00:55.698
husband and kind of knowing being aware

00:55.698 --> 00:58.140
of when I need to take a pause and take

00:58.140 --> 01:00.780
that time out to regroup myself and you

01:00.780 --> 01:02.780
know kinda get that one on one time

01:02.780 --> 01:05.002
with my family that I need , especially

01:05.002 --> 01:07.960
with my son a message I would like to

01:07.960 --> 01:10.016
give about awareness um to my fellow

01:10.016 --> 01:12.016
paratroopers fellow first Sergeants

01:12.016 --> 01:14.349
would be just to get to know each other .

01:14.349 --> 01:16.460
Um the more you know someone the more

01:16.460 --> 01:18.516
aware you can be of if they're going

01:18.516 --> 01:18.510
through something or if they need help

01:18.510 --> 01:20.910
with something , and that also kind of

01:20.920 --> 01:24.060
allows you to um understand what you're

01:24.140 --> 01:26.251
paratroopers are good at . So you can

01:26.251 --> 01:28.196
highlight those things and kind of

01:28.196 --> 01:27.880
bring it to their attention to ,

01:27.890 --> 01:29.779
because maybe they have a lack of

01:29.779 --> 01:31.834
awareness about what their strengths

01:31.834 --> 01:34.057
are , and we're here to highlight those

01:34.057 --> 01:36.112
things to everyone that we work with

01:36.112 --> 01:36.760
each day .
