Discover what self-leadership is and how it differentiates from a leadership.
Great leaders begin by leading themselves. In this one-hour session, you’ll explore the concept of self-leadership and why it’s essential for both personal and professional growth. Drawing on the work of psychologist Daniel Goleman, the course will help you better understand the skills that set exceptional leaders apart—starting from within.
You’ll learn practical tools to build self-awareness, strengthen emotional intelligence, and reflect on your core values and personal vision. The session includes resources and exercises you can continue to use on your own, helping you take actionable steps toward becoming a more confident and effective leader.
