Description

In this episode of the DeadThree Coaching Show, we unpack one of the most underestimated skills in leadership: awareness.

Too often, leaders believe their job is simply to make decisions. The truth? If you don’t understand yourself, your people, and your environment, every decision is just a guess.

We break awareness into three levels:

• Self-Awareness: Knowing your blind spots, your triggers, and the impact your emotions have on others.
• Situational Awareness: Reading the room — noticing energy, morale, tone shifts, and what your team actually needs.
• Organizational Awareness: Zooming out to see if actions truly align with values and mission, not just busyness or optics.

From Ed Mylett’s principle of transferring belief, to Danny Hurley’s crash course in emotional self-awareness, to lessons from Jocko Willink and legendary coach Don Meyer — this episode shows how the best leaders sharpen their radar.

👉 Inside this episode:

• Why awareness is the bridge between your intentions and your impact.
• How lack of awareness derails even elite leaders.
• Why your team feels your blind spots long before you do.
• The difference between paranoia and presence.
• A daily reflection practice to start building A+ awareness today.

Because here’s the bottom line:
 If you can’t read the room, the room will read you.
