2. SELF-AWARENESS AND CAPACITY RECOGNITION
How to convince others of its relevance?
In a world where everything goes increasingly faster, it is important to
stop and reflect upon ourselves. This is crucial not only for our
performance in the job market, which is arguably very relevant,
however not fundamental, but also for ourselves and our mental
health.
The benefits of self-assessment activities and recognition of own
strengths and shortcomings is very important and can lead to multiple
benefits in the workplace, but also in our personal life. People that are
aware of their own peculiarities often respond better to external
stress and emergencies. All these benefits are the “selling” points of
self-assessment activities and recognition practices. It is important
that each and everyone of us at least try to better assess oneself in
order to understand better the others and the environment in which
one operates.
