- "After all, the only difference between drowning and diving is whether or not you come back up.” What is the difference between self-absorption and self awareness? Fin Sheridan is an experienced counselor and founder of EQ Leadership. In his talk, Fin goes into depth of the power of self awareness and the skill it takes to develop it. Fin presents the concept of being curious about ourselves but not caught up in self absorption.
Fin Sheridan is the CEO of EQ Leadership, a training and leadership development company that specializes in emotional intelligence. After a decade of leadership roles in the UK and the USA, he started EQL to help leaders and teams create cultures where people can flourish. He lives in Greenville with his wife Dani and his two constantly shedding dogs, Honey Bear and Teddy Bear. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I used to think I was self-aware but after learning some skills around self-awareness I realized how much more self-aware one can be and I realized that I am a bit more self-absorbed than self-aware sometimes, partially because I have some guilt around how people might perceive me if I truly shed my raw emotions out there and I take solace in the fact that people don't care. Self-aware is not a switch that you can just turn on once you realize it exists in your brain. It is a constant learning process.
Past trauma does make people more self-reflective and wiser. Thanks
Stop supporting a terrorist group. 🇮🇱♥️🦾
It does for some. There are others who get stuck in the victim mentality and don’t reflect on what they can do to improve their lot. There’s also those who come out of their trauma with psychological illnesses which is even harder again.
Why are you supporting terrorism?
Cultivating this skill not only enhances personal and professional relationships but also strengthens leadership by fostering empathy and decision-making. 🔑
So good. I've been questioning this narrative of focusing on being the main character of your life and it seems be having this pressure filled snowball affect on so many. Helpful to take the pressure off.
Well present;very humble and appealing.
Evaluate and reevaluate is exhausting.. healthy round self awareness.. give and receive love !! That’s all is asked for !!
I’m very glad I clicked on this video! I REALLY needed to hear this and it was very helpful! Balance. Thank you for actually having a solution.

Adding this to my list of All Time Favorite TED Talks 👏 👏 👏 👏
Thank you so much 🥹
😢😢😊😊@@finsheridan8041
@@finsheridan8041I relate to this particular talk more than any other. I've caught myself in the past being too self-aware and reflecting too much, and it is certainly a weird feeling being aware of your self-awareness. I've learned that sometimes, ignorance is bliss. Not that your self-awareness ever goes away, but it's important for your general happiness to avoid reflecting too much. Thank you for this talk!
There's this book I read around the topic of self awareness. It changed my life, I can't seem to stop realizing the truth about self awareness ever since I read that book. It's called The Power of Now by Echkart Tolle. I recommend It to everyone, especially anyone going through depression and unhappiness.
such great points and incredibly entertaining. anyone trying to better themselves authentically should watch this Ted talk!
Great talk on understanding the reasons behind conversation replays, narcissism and other emotional issues
Even better than why and what is how😁
Wonderful talk! I love this. Thank you soo much
Interesting view!
Let’s see what this one take us to. Congratulations 🎉
Ooo interesting question! 🤔
Edit: maybe i missed it, but would have appreciated an example of what he speaks of as a tether 🤔
Great point, Jason.
I should’ve put a couple in - here’s some that spring to mind… community, trusted relationships, a faith or belief system, a sense of purpose and meaning beyond yourself, a good therapist, healthy practices for your mind/body/soul, etc.
All of these have helped “tether” me out of my own head and introspection at various times.
@@finsheridan8041 Ah, I did wonder if that was what was meant. Makes perfect sense now. Thanks for the clarification.
I’m 99% there guys
Next one on Meta-Awarness!
Very good
Very interesting talk ❤
Does anyone here have thoughts about what could be used as a tether to get back up from emotional drowning?

@@finsheridan8041 thank you so much for the answer, and for the great talk 🙏
To be fair, I chose the shock just because I was curious what it would feel like
Sir, I don't know what has happened that when someone speaks something behind me which is related to me, then I feel that he is speaking about me or someone speaks something in double sense, then I think he is speaking about me, please sir someone reply to me. 😢😢😢😭😭😭
Anyone from bd?
enneagram 3 called me out
I would like to know what accent is it: American or British?
Haha I’m British but I’ve lived in South Carolina for 6 years and married to a Southern girl for 9. It’s giving me into a weird hybrid accent.
