Self-Awareness Challenge
Improving your ability to function within a team environment requires understanding your strengths and weaknesses, your personality, and where you find engagement in your work. The Self-awareness challenge covers both self-awareness and self-mastery. Self-awareness is the knowledge of our personality, behaviors, values, strengths, and weaknesses that motivate us and help us prioritize our decisions. Self-mastery is the skill of being authentic and intentional. Self-awareness and self-mastery are two of the four domains that make up emotional intelligence (EI).
