The objectives of this course are to broaden and deepen the student’s self-awareness and prepare them to be a life-long learner. Success in today’s organizations depends on your ability to learn and adapt quickly to new and changing situations. The course is based on a model of self-directed learning and development. Gaining self-awareness and being mindful of oneself is extremely valuable in understanding and formulating your own career and life vision, in assessing your skills and abilities and in designing plans to reach your objectives. From mastery of this basic process comes the ability to manage change and lead others effectively.
