How self-aware are you?
Self-awareness is a powerful skill that...
- allows us to understand things from multiple perspectives
- frees us from our assumptions and biases
- helps us build better relationships
Yet, org psychologist and researcher Tasha Eurich found that while 95% of us think that we’re self-aware, the reality is closer to 15%.

If you want to shift control from funders to communities, here are 5 recommendations from field and community leaders about what it takes to recognize and resource frontline strength and leadership
1. Be responsive to the way people and movements organize themselves.
2. Support organizational capacity, as well as the capacity of individuals, networks, and coalitions
3. Make space for divergence and debate in movements, rather than force consensus and uniformity.
4. Ask your partners what they need to be healthy and present in their work.
5. Provide long-term, flexible (general operating) resources at a level that allows leaders to dream, build, implement, and realize the change they seek.
