Module 2 - Express Your Vision |
Required |
|
Now that we are more comfortable with our authentic selves, we will cast a vision and set some goals. We are becoming aware of patterns, and will use self-perception to shift the balance of power from old internal voices to new internal voices. We will practice using our self-perception to assertively express thoughts and feelings and how others view this. Explore how to become more emotionally independent and discover how to communicate our feelings in constructive and socially acceptable ways. We will recognize how to balance our independence to gain empowerment in ourselves, but not alienate others. At the end of the course, you will leave with a personal vision and skills to practice building your self-esteem, your self-confidence and improving your assertiveness techniques. |

Module 4 - Choose with Purpose |
Required |

Apply a decision framework for next steps in our personal leadership journey. We will discover how our individual approaches to risk influence decision-making processes. As part of the course, we will become familiar with decision analysis and problem-solving frameworks to gain skill and comfort in making strategic decisions.
