‘First, know thyself’ is a common-place maxim that reminds us that Self-Awareness is fundamental to a successful and satisfying life. But what do we do next, when we are not satisfied with what we find out about ourselves?
I find Self-Management is the least talked or understood about element of Emotional Intelligence and, for most of us, the hardest to develop. It is the selective control, development and communication of specific aspects of our own emotional experience.
This is a living collection of resources supporting the second day of my EMBA course, Personal Effectiveness, where we explore many themes from the study of Emotional Intelligence and the field of Positive Psychology. In this class, we move from Self-Awareness to Self-Management. Often, the first question is: How do I reflect? Here's a good suggestion
Building on the awareness of our own emotional landscape, self-confidence, resilience, optimism, energy, learning ability, motivation and happiness, we move to ask questions about how we regulate and develop them. How do we care for ourselves to be ready and successful in life and at work? What is happiness and how do we nurture it? How do we each learn best?
