The document discusses developing dual awareness, which is the integrated awareness of our external and internal environments and how they affect each other. It describes five levels of awareness that people progress through on their way to achieving dual awareness: 1) Unaware, 2) Delayed awareness, 3) Perceptive, 4) Resilient, and 5) Adaptive. Mastering dual awareness allows one to act with intention and perform at their best regardless of external conditions. Dual awareness can also be applied in psychology therapy and coping with illness.

2.  In the new book , Deliberate Calm: How to Learn and Lead in a
Volatile World (HarperCollins Publishers, November 2022),
authors Jacqueline Brassey, Aaron De Smet, and Michiel Kruyt
investigate a concept they call “dual awareness,” the integrated
awareness of our external and internal environments and how
they affect each other.
 With this awareness, we are able to access a state in which we
can act with intention and perform at our best no matter what is
going on around us.
 This requires a certain detachment from our feelings and
thoughts, where we can obser ve ourselves having an experience
and can observe our feelings and thoughts about that experience.
 In this excerpt from Deliberate Calm, we look at how leaders can
go through five levels of awareness on their way to developing
dual awareness

3. The Five Levels of awareness:
People who develop dual awareness respond effectively in the moment.

4.  Not aware of external state or external zone.
 Underneath the “waterline” of our personal
iceberg lies the bulk of our thoughts, feelings,
beliefs, mindsets, and core identities, these
deeper, largely unconscious layers are
constantly driving our visible behaviors.
 In social psychology, this is called the
“Fundamental Attribution Error”.
Note: The fundamental attribution error is a common cognitive bias,
people tend to attribute others' behavior to their personality traits,
attitudes, or abilities, rather than considering the influence of the
situation or context.

 As we develop dual awareness, we are able to change this by slowing down and
better observing the situation we are in, our internal reactions, and our related
behavior.
 As we do so, we also gain empathy for other people’s behavior. And when we
intentionally act with empathy and open our minds to other people’s points of
view, we can gain insight into our own behavior and how it affects others,
increasing our self-awareness.
Level 1 _ Learning and improving

 Traits
Aware after it happened.
 Learning and improving
-It can be difficult to receive negative feedback, but feedback plus reflection
can help us become aware of unhelpful behavior patterns that might otherwise
escape our attention.
-In 1955, psychologists Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham developed a tool
called the Johari Window to help people understand their relationships with
themselves and others. The Johari Window consists of four quadrants:
Awareness level 2: Delayed _ Traits &. Learning and improving

 Traits
Aware but not able to respond effectively in the moment.
 Learning and improving
 To create real change, we must look at what is frozen beneath the waterline of our iceberg . This
is why our resolutions so often fail.
 As a leader, our job is to create an open, collaborative learning environment so our team can
surface shortfalls or deviations quickly and work together to solve challenges and deliver results.
 By asking questions in a way that feels aspirational, meaning we have high expectations and a
sense of curiosity and compassion but no personal judgment.
 As we practice observing ourselves from a distance, we can learn to quickly recognize that we
are shifting into protection.
Awareness level 3: Perceptive _ Traits &. Learning and improving

9. 9
 Even often succeeds, still get upset
 It still finds ourself carried away by our emotions and reverting to our
protection behaviors during certain challenges.
 Leaders often want to move forward and get to solutions as quickly
as possible.
 Aware and able to respond after a short pause or time out.
 It is essential to pause in order to move faster. Slow down to speed
up by small breaks
Awareness level 4: Resilient

10. 10
 A real-time pause allows us to decouple from the immediate
challenge and the protection state we may enter as a result, engage
the parts of our brains in charge of executive functioning, and
explore new options and ways of responding.
 This level : “dynamic process” that is not always linear, like playing
game Chutes and Ladders.
Level 4 Resilient (Cont.,)
Chutes and Ladders

11. 11
 Aware and able to pivot effectively from "protection" to "learning" in the
moment.
== At this level, we are able to shift to the learning state without taking a
time-out, without pausing, without panicking, without missing a beat.
 Our response isn’t to feel frustrated but to get into a constructive problem-
solving mode while keeping accountability with the team.
 Build up new mindset How identify as a leader
Awareness level 5: Adaptive

12. 12
 Ready and armed to face it with chosen mindset and behaviors.
 It will incorporates more and more techniques into daily life to continue
practicing dual awareness
 It will more adept at staying present and aware of both internal experiences and
external environment.
Level 5 Adaptive (Cont.,)

Robyn E. Brickel (2019) in her study: ”Why a Bottom-Up Approach to
Trauma Therapy is So Powerful” said:
 The best modalities for bottom-up therapy incorporate dual
awareness —thinking and feeling —that is necessary for healing. In
order to heal, feeling safe and learning how to have regulated
responses in both the body and the brain need to develop.
 The bottom-up approach begins with information acquired from the
body’s sensations. The bottom-up approach accepts that feelings or
even body sensations happen first. They can develop dual awareness
that they are able to keep themselves safe in the current situation,
and look back on what has happened in the past.
Dual Awareness_ Can be applied in psychology therapy

Vivian W. G. Burgers et al.(2022) found seven coping strategies in the
concept of ‘double awareness’ and showcases that AYAs (Adolescents
and young adults; aged 18–39 years at primary cancer diagnosis) are able
to actively cope with their disease but prefer to actively choose life over
illness. CALM（Cancer And Living Meaningfully, CALM）therapy and
informal AYA support meetings to support this group to cope well with their
disease.
1. Minimizing the impact of the cancer
2. Taking control and seeking certainty
3. Coming to terms 4. Positivity
5. Seeking and receiving support
6. Carpe diem = Seize the day
7. Being consciously alive
Dual Awareness_ Can be applied in UPCP

• By putting ourselves in other people’s condition and considering their perspectives, it
can gain a better understanding of their behavior and the situational factors that may
be influencing it.
• It's also important to be aware of our own biases and assumptions, and then to
consider multiple perspectives when evaluating other's behavior.
• Developing dual awareness can also help to cultivate mindfulness, which has been
linked to a lot of advantages
