Awareness Training
A heightened sense of awareness has always been a capability admired and glamorised by humanity. Whether it is a superhero’s enhanced sense of awareness being used to foil the covert attack of his menacing foe or just a gut feeling that tells you not to get into the car that crashes five miles down the road, a heightened sense of awareness that produces the right result will always leave us with a warm feeling inside.
​
Beyond these moments of “good fortune”, awareness has an integral and ubiquitous role in our daily lives. We constantly make decisions based on what we are aware of. Our sense of awareness accompanies us throughout the day like a faithful dog, sometimes being petted and shown immense amounts of attention and at other times lingering behind us snivelling at unsuspecting passersby.
​
The importance of awareness has grown in line with the growth of the aptitude measure, the Emotional Quotient. Most people are familiar with IQ, the intelligence quotient which is a standardised score for general intelligence. The EQ is a measure of emotional intelligence and focuses on the ability of a person to handle their emotions and the emotions of others.
​
It has been discovered that people with well trained awareness score highly in the measure of (Emotional Quotient) EQ. It has also been demonstrated that a person’s EQ is as reliable an indicator of success as the traditional measure of IQ.
​
These results have led to greater recognition of and training in “Soft skills”-skills that a person possesses which are not directly associated with logical function, in schools, companies and workplaces.
​
Although the effectiveness and impact of awareness on our lives may be debated, its enduring presence in our lives cannot be disputed. It is without doubt therefore, an area worth researching and a skill worth honing.​

Learning Awareness
​
It is often said when learning new skill as an adult that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, however fortunately for us wise old dogs, awareness training is a process of awakening rather than learning.
​
Many of the situations, scenarios and theories will be familiar to all readers. You may have experienced them in daily life, at work or at home. You may be aware enough to have conscious strategies to deal with these scenarios and if not you will more than likely have subconscious strategies to deal with them.
​
The purpose of awareness training is to move from the unclear, inconsistent and haphazardness processes we use to manage our lives and to place the individual in control of their awareness.
​
Awareness training is beneficial and many of its components will appear sporadically in courses on self improvement or soft skill training. This is because many of the techniques taught in these course can produce tangible benefits however without the prerequisite awareness training, many are used as memory aids rather than improvement tools.
​
