Description:

This workshop is a must-have for everyone at the university, regardless of your role, experience, and level you work at. Before you can lead others or even lead the organisation, you have to start by leading yourself, which is an ongoing journey of self-discovery. Self-awareness is about connecting with yourself, your values, your needs and your sense of purpose in the workplace so that you can perform to the best of your ability. It’s about understanding how this impacts you and others around you. Taking time to understand yourself will positively influence how you engage with others, resulting in a more harmonious, compassionate and fulfilled experience in the workplace.

Learning outcomes:

1. Explore the importance of self-awareness as the foundation for all leadership and the benefits of deepening connections with yourself in the workplace, whatever role you do!

2. Learn and practise mind-body tools to help you pause, notice and name body sensations, emotions and thoughts in a variety of real-life situations at work in order to inform appropriate and constructive action

3. Experience self-regulation tools and techniques, which involve embodied deep listening (self and others) and emotional resourcing to enhance self-efficacy
