Podcast Outline:
This is back to basics:
How aware are you? Check your awareness with a couple of easy questions:
- When was the last time someone surprised you?
- Where are the exits where you are right now?
- If you are traveling, where are you exactly?
- When was the last time someone bumped into you? Or you into them?
How to Improve your awareness:
- Simple:
- 5 – 25 Scans (a way to make sure you are scanning you environment near to far)
- Look both ways as you exit or enter a place and then scan near to far in an arce around the place
- Find the exits to anyplace you go to every time you go someplace
- Talk to someone about awareness, compare notes about things and people around you
- Advanced:
- Why are people there?
- Look ahead and anticipate what people are going to do after you answer why they are there
