Self-awareness and Understanding

Use the Johari Window to see the gap between how you see yourself and how others see you

Build a grounded understanding of your own self-awareness and emotional intelligence, using the Johari Window, Goleman's four domains of EI and a leadership behaviour diagnostic to see yourself more clearly. Across six modules you will turn self-knowledge into concrete next steps, including a decision scenario on staying in control under pressure.
