Each month there will be a 1-hour w orkshop on a development topic\, a 1-hour workshop on a fundamental self-aw areness or skill topic\, and an optional Calm-based short course learning p rogram.
My Real Self Core Workshop
A clear
understanding of one’s current situation at work vis a vis one’s goals. The
real self can be considered our current starting point on the development
journey. Where we are can be informed by our own perception\, the perceptio
n of others\, and objective measures. Our own perception includes our view
and also our assumptions about others’ views of us. Separate from our assum
ptions\, others’ views of our real self can be elicited and help to inform
our view – to reinforce areas of successes or challenges\, or to refute dis
connects between how we see our position and how others do. Objective measu
res that may be relevant to our personal values are also important to consi
der\, such as position and responsibilities. In workshop 2\, we will discov
er the challenges of knowing our real self\, and consider ways in which we
will seek out the real self information we need to be able to make informed
decisions about where we are on the path toward our ideal self.
