Course Description

Self-awareness and self-management are the foundation of successful leaders. This course focuses on four core elements of self-management – emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, thinking strategies and reflective practices. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of their skill levels in each of these areas; practical skills to use when they return to the workplace, and a self-management plan to take forward.

This is an ideal course for professionals who want to understand the importance of self-awareness as it relates to leadership and for those interested in effectively self-managing their ability to deal with emotions, conflict, communication and thinking.
