Self-management is the ability to choose your behavioural and emotional response. It’s not enough to just notice and understand the triggers for your emotions.

There are two types of self-management (regulation/control)

Having what you do in the form of work is one of the ways to create meaning in life. It is very fulfilling when you find yourself making progress in your work.

Such interviews some do find challenging, particularly when asked specific questions during the interview. In this episode, with the help of an expert in this area, we have given responses to some of those questions that we have noticed some have struggled with during job interviews...

Values are your life guiding principles.
Our values help us define the person we want to be.
You are already living some values - those things that have influenced your decisions over these years.
Make those values yours by consciously identifying and/or choosing them and consider if they are still serving you to be the person you want to be.
Commit to living your values by walking away from things that are not in sync with your values.
Be attracted by the things that are in line with your values.

Emotions are neither good nor bad. Emotions are data - messages from you to you. We all have choices about what to do with them. Let's practice emotional intelligence in small ways in our everyday activities so that when we are presented with real emotionally challenging situations, we can show up in the ways we feel proud of. 

Temperament is not destiny!

Self-awareness is the ability to see yourself clearly. To understand who you are, how others see you and how you fit into the world around you.
Self-awareness is the meta skill of the 21st century
The qualities most critical for success in the world today, things like Emotional Intelligence, Empathy, Influence, Persuasion, Collaboration and Communication all stem from self-awareness.
If we are not self-aware, it is almost impossible to master the skills that make us stronger team players, better parents, superior leaders and better relationship builders at work, home, community and society at large.
