Some of them are as follow:
Self Awareness: It involves recognising our own emotions, strengths, weaknesses, values, and how they
influence our behaviour. It is the foundation for personal growth and emotional intelligence. For example,
getting stressed before presentations, self-awareness will help you recognise this pattern and take steps to
prepare better or practice better to manage your stress.
Self-Control: It is the ability to manage our emotions, impulses, and behaviours effectively, especially in
challenging situations. It involves staying composed and making rational decisions. For example, when a
colleague criticises your work, instead of reacting defensively or angrily, take a deep breath, listen to their
feedback, and respond calmly and constructively.
Self-Confidence: It is the belief in our abilities and judgment. It involves having a positive self-image
and the courage to take on challenges without undue fear of failure. For example, you are confident in
your coding skills and decide to take on a challenging project that requires learning a new programming
language. Your belief in your ability to learn and succeed motivates you to overcome obstacles.
Problem Solving: It is the ability to identify issues, analyse information, and find effective solutions. It
involves critical thinking and creativity. For example, your team faces a bottleneck in the project due to
a technical glitch. You systematically analyse the problem, brainstorm potential solutions, test different
approaches, and implement the most effective one, resolving the issue.
Self-Motivation: It is the drive to achieve goals and complete tasks without external incentives. It involves
a strong internal desire to succeed and a commitment to personal and professional growth. For example,
even when working remotely with minimal supervision, you set daily goals for yourself, stay focused, and
consistently meet your deadlines because you are driven by your personal aspirations and work ethic.
P
ersonal Hygiene and Grooming: Personal hygiene and grooming involve maintaining cleanliness and
a neat appearance. It reflects self-respect and consideration for others and can influence how you are
perceived in professional settings. For example, you make a habit of showering daily, wearing clean clothes,
and keeping your hair tidy. This ensures you always present yourself professionally in your office.
P
ositive Thinking: Positive thinking is the practice of focusing on the good in any given situation and
maintaining an optimistic outlook. It can improve your mood, resilience, and overall mental health. For
example, when a project deadline is extended, instead of feeling overwhelmed, you focus on the opportunity
to demonstrate your ability to work efficiently under pressure and view it as a chance to showcase your
skills.
T
eamwork: Teamwork involves working collaboratively with others to achieve a common goal. It requires
good communication, cooperation, and the ability to respect and value diverse perspectives. For example,
in a group project, you actively listen to your teammates’ ideas, contribute your own suggestions, and help
mediate conflicts to ensure the team works harmoniously and efficiently.
Time Management: It is the process of planning and controlling how much time to spend on specific
activities. Good time management allows you to work smarter, not harder, ensuring you do more done in
less time. For example, you use a planner to schedule your tasks for the day, prioritising them based on
importance and deadlines. By allocating specific time slots for each task and sticking to your schedule, you
manage to complete all your work on time without feeling rushed.
