Self-Awareness Video Analysis
Introduction
Each and every professional regardless of their profession has a goal to be and become the very best they can be. It’s certainly not about what’s on the outside. Nor is it about what’s on the inside. In fact; it’s not even about a reputation, a brand, or even a persona as for say. What it is really all about in reality is; the reality of who you truly are. In order to reach great success not only in your personal life but also in your professional life as well; you must be self-aware and have emotional intelligence capabilities. Together, these factors open an entirely new world that we would have otherwise never imagined.
Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is referred to as having a clear vision of one’s own personality. You know and are aware of your thoughts, emotions, strengths, weaknesses, beliefs, and motivations. Self-awareness provides us with a better understanding of others, helps us begin to understand how others perceive you, and also helps you not only understand your own attitude but also the responses you have in different situations. Self-awareness is one of the first steps in becoming emotionally intelligent and also relates to the question, “Do you know who you are?”
Importance of Self-Aware in the Human Service Profession
As a professional in the human service profession; digging deeper within ourselves and within our own understanding both personally and professionally; we can begin to develop a greater knowledge and ability to tend to the needs of the clients we serve each and every day. We need to strive as professionals to understand ourselves as well as building and strengthening our own self-awareness. By doing this we can have positive impacts on other’s lives. It is also very important as a human service professional to keep an open mind and be sensitive to the feelings and thoughts of others.
