Provide at least one effective strategy that you either already follow or are

planning to follow.

For this week's discussion I choose self-awareness. Self awareness is knowing

yourself and your personality, how you react to certain things etc. I think tuning
in with our emotions is very important, it helps us understand ourselves and others
better. Knowing ourselves well, can aid us in our personal and professional lives.
It can also help us to work and communicate with others. Knowing yourself can help
you understand your thoughts, wishes and wants better as well as things you say and
how they can affect other people. It is said that if one cannot be self aware ,
then it can fail to manage stress in life which can have a big impact on life.
(Batool, 2013)

How I and others can tell that I am communicating as a leader?

Batool highlighted that a leader without a vision, character, resource, charisma or

confidence is not a good leader. He says "emotional intelligence plays a key role
in determining success, both in one�s personal life and in the workplace.� I am
nowhere near to being a leader but Im trying to understand myself and other
better .I need to be able to speak to everyone as a leader and stand confident,
knowing my strengths as well as my weaknesses very well.
