This Month at MOD Network: Self-Awareness at Work
What if the biggest driver of communication breakdowns isn’t strategy, structure, or workload — but blind spots?
In this edition, we explore how self-awareness fuels stronger communication and real collaboration. With expert insights from MOD Network consultants, we unpack how understanding work styles and motivations can reduce conflict, minimize miscommunication, and create clearer alignment across teams.
You’ll discover practical ways assessments can be applied
— not as labels, but as leadership tools —
to strengthen trust, decision-making, and performance.
If collaboration is the goal, self-awareness is the starting point.

Self-Awareness at Work:
What Does Your Communication Mirror Reveal?
Take a few minutes to reflect on these questions:
How do our own communication habits model (or undermine) collaboration?
How often do we ask clarifying questions versus advocating for our own viewpoint?
Where do we confuse consensus with alignment - and what is the cost?
If you'd like to take a deeper dive into these questions
and what the implications are for each, along with some "stop and think" moments, visit the conversation with Sara here: Self-Awareness at Work
