Self Awareness and Personal Development Programme
The Self Awareness and Personal Development Course
- What does it mean to be self-aware , and developing yourself personally and professionally?
- How self-aware are you? Do you have a plan for your personal and professional development?
- What type of personality do you have? How can your personality influence your career interests?
Self-awareness concerns understanding who we are, our strengths and weaknesses, our drives and personalities, our habits and values. Developing an understanding of our own strengths, weaknesses, habits and values, can make us aware of the areas we would develop so we can maximise our existing skills.
Organisational leaders can also reap benefits by encouraging their employees’ to develop self-awareness, as this can help to identify the personal attributes their people have so they can be positioned correctly in the organisation. Additionally, it can result in the creation of tailored development packages that enable their people to develop core skills to address the shortages within the workforce.
Course content
