This course explores: what a goal is; cycles of behaviour; fixed mind-set vs growth mind-set; what motives us; what procrastination is; creating new habits; goal setting methods and celebrating achievements.

Self Awareness and Communication Skills

---

Self-awareness and effective communication go hand in hand, if we can be self-aware and communicate effectively, we can express how we feel, ask for help when we need it and connect to others. Effective communication is an important skill to help us reach our goals in life. This course will explore what we mean by effective communication and self awareness; different types of verbal and non-verbal communication; listening skills and ways to respond rather than react.
