57. How Self-Awareness Shapes Your Behaviour and Your Impact with Simone Fenton-Jarvis

In this episode of It Starts With YOU, Vic O'Farrell is joined by Simone Fenton Jarvis for a straight-talking conversation about what it really means to be a "good human" at work and in life. Together, they unpack the two things that shape how we show up every day, intent and self-awareness. Because while most of us believe we're doing the right thing, without self-awareness we often miss the true impact of our behaviour on others. From workplace frustrations to difficult conversations with colleagues and leaders, this episode dives into the real moments where behaviour shifts, emotions take over, and misunderstandings happen. Vic and Simone explore how to recognise when you're being triggered, how to handle situations where someone else's behaviour is affecting you, and how to speak up in a way that creates change rather than conflict. It's an honest look at how hard this work can be, from managing your own reactions to navigating egos and pressure in the workplace. This episode is a powerful reminder that behaviour drives behaviour, and whether you realise it or not, the way you show up creates a ripple effect in every room you walk into. So the question is, what kind of ripple are you creating?   .
