PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
SGT GERWIN DC REYES (RES) PA
Instructor Are You Driving Your Life ? Your Life Is Driving You ? Self Awareness and Personal Development Key Areas for Self-Awareness • Personality. We don't normally change our personalities, values and needs based on what we learn about ourselves. But, an understanding of our personalities can help us find situations in which we will thrive, and help us avoid situations in which we will experience too much stress.
• For instance, if you are highly introverted, you should
either learn skills to cope with the demands of a sales position that requires extravert-type behavior patterns, or you should find a position that is more compatible with your personality Key Areas for Self-Awareness
• Values. It's important that we each know and
focus on our personal values. • During the workday, so many problems and opportunities arise that our lists of "things to do" can easily exceed the time we have to do them. • When we focus on our values, we are more likely to accomplish what we consider most important. Key Areas for Self-Awareness • Habits. Our habits are the behaviors that we repeat routinely and often automatically.
• Although we would like to possess the habits
that help us interact effectively with and manage others, we can probably all identify at least one of our habits that decreases our effectiveness. Key Areas for Self-Awareness • Needs. One of the advantages of knowing which needs exert the strongest influence on our own behaviors is the ability to understand how they affect our interpersonal relationships. Key Areas for Self-Awareness • Emotions. Emotional self-awareness has become a hot topic of discussion recently because it's one of the five facets of emotional intelligence. Understanding your own feelings, what causes them, and how they impact your thoughts and actions is emotional self-awareness. Nature of Self and Self-awareness
According to Birch (1997), one of the
most crucial process in the early years of the child’s life is the development of sense of self. Gardner (1982) suggests that there are a number of factors that the children should know. They should: Nature of Self and Self-awareness
• Be aware of their own body, its
appearance, state and size (body-size); • Be able to refer to themselves appropriately through language and be able to distinguish descriptions which apply to self and which do not; • Be aware of their own personal history, experiences they have had, skills and abilities, their own needs and wishes. Emotional Self Awareness
It is the ability to recognize or
emotions and their effects on us. This means that we are aware of how we react to environment factors and how our emotions affect our performance. The person who possesses competency of emotional self-awareness is one who: Emotional Self Awareness
• Is aware of his own feelings;
• Knows why feelings occur; • Understands implications of our emotions; • Pays attention to physical signs that are aroused in stressful situations (high blood pressure, sweaty palms; and) • Knows his own strengths and weaknesses and understanding his own emotions and impact of his behavior on others on others in diverse situations. Accurate Self- Assessment
It is the ability to know our inner
resources, abilities and limits and to be aware of our strengths and weaknesses. We can only know our potentials and limitations if we are positive to constructive criticisms. We have to develop new perspectives about ourselves and must always be motivated for professional growth. Hence, we have the ability to target areas for personal change and Accurate Self-Assessment
The person who possesses the
competency for Accurate Self-Assessment should:
• Have a sense of humour about him be or
herself; • Be aware of own strengths and weaknesses; and • Be open to feedback. Self- Confidence
This is the belief in your own self, your
capability to accomplish the task. This competency is an acknowledgement of your potentials that you are the best for the job. It is also about conveying your ideas and opinions with self confidence and having a positive impact on others. Self Confidence
We can develop self confidence if we are
equipped with sufficient knowledge and sure of what we are doing and try to act decisively. We can improve ourselves if we accept feedback positively. By doing so, we can be sure we can change for the better. Self Awareness – The JOHARI Window
