Social & Emotional Intelligence Course Discussion: Managing yourself is all about knowing your identity, including knowing your inner critic or your saboteurs. Take the Saboteurs Assessment so you can discover your inner critic. Share what you have learned about this process in the comments.

Social & Emotional Intelligence Course Discussion: One benefit about increasing self-awareness is that it helps you recognize emotional cues. Share some cues that you know or have learned about yourself. How does having awareness about these cues support you in being an effective leader?

Knowing this allows me to intentionally self-regulate and activate curiosity.
