Self Esteem
We are excited about presenting this new addition to OPRA Develop - a course on Self Esteem. Based on the work of Nathanial Branden, this one-day training programme covers components of self esteem including:
Living Consciously
Self Acceptance
Self Responsibility
Self Assertiveness
Living Purposefully
Personal Integrity
In addition, this course covers key psychological aids to self esteem including locus of control, cognitive framing, self talk, and self reinforcement.
So what is Self Esteem and why is it important for work?
Self esteem is the disposition to experience oneself as being competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and of being worthy of happiness. It is confidence in the efficacy of our mind, and in our ability to think. By extension, it is confidence in our ability to learn, make appropriate choices and decisions, and respond effectively to change. It is also the experience that success, achievement, fulfilment - happiness - are right and natural for us. The survival-value of such confidence is obvious; so is the danger when it is missing (Nathaniel Branden, 2008).
Self esteem is the basis of effective work performance. It is the ability to negotiate the world and its demands with self efficacy, integrity and with purpose. Self-esteem is the basis of quality leadership enabling people to develop accountability and responsibility for themselves and others.
What will people learn on the course?
Participants on the course will learn the following:
Models of self esteem and why the six pillars is a powerful framework for understanding how self esteem is manifested.
How to be more conscious at work and in one's daily life.
How to become more accepting of one's own limitations and strengths and how to use these to personal advantage.
How to take responsibility for one's actions and outcomes, whether they are positive or negative.
How to create goals such that life has purpose and meaning.
How to integrate the various values and goals that a person has with the components of self esteem to build integrity.
