Training Kit on Self-Leadership

Self-leadership is the process of achieving balance and control in your personal and professional life by directing and managing yourself. It is the ability to set goals, make sound decisions, and develop the skills needed

to achieve success and satisfaction in your life. Self-leadership requires self-awareness, discipline, and dedication to continuous improvement. The concept of self-esteem:

It is an individual's evaluation of themselves and their sense of respect, worth and competence. Self-esteem includes a person's beliefs about themselves (for example: "I am competent" or "I am worthy") in addition to emotional states such as

triumph, despair, pride, and shame.

Self-esteem is defined as a person's sense of their own worth and their appreciation of it. It is a personal trait made up of a set of beliefs about oneself, such as a person's evaluation of and view of their appearance, emotions, and behaviours. It plays a role in motivating a person and their success at various stages of their life.

The Johari Window:

The Johari Window is a framework that allows individuals to enhance their understanding of themselves and of others within a single group or between different groups. The model is based on two basic ideas:

• You are more likely to trust people if you understand them better.

• You are more likely to trust yourself if you understand yourself better.

Teams work to complete the Johari Window by filling in four quadrants, each of which reveals something they do not know about themselves or about others.

Indicators of Self-Esteem:

• Self-confidence: the individual expresses their opinions and feelings clearly.

• Optimism: the individual expects positive outcomes from their actions.

• Perseverance: the individual exerts great effort to achieve their goals.
