MODULE 3 SUMMARY

In this module we explained:

  • The importance of reading the Expert Guide on a daily basis while working on a development dimension. It will help to establish it as a servo mechanism or inner map that guides you.
  • The importance of completing the Self Awareness exercises in the Companion Workbooks. Without increased self awareness there will be no change or growth.
  • Coaching suggestions are provided by the Coach Suggests section of the Expert Guide. This provides you with practical advice for change, growth and behavior change.
  • Recommended Readings can be accessed by typing the topic into Google Search and are intended to provide you with new roadmaps and knowledge that with practice you can turn into skills.
  • Target Behaviors point you to the skills you should try to develop. We encourage you to keep a log of how often you have practiced a target behavior. This is a form of self - monitoring that will help you to increase the frequency of desired behaviors.
  • The EQ Workout is the most intense of the Development Actions. It is designed to help you to progress from self - awareness and knowledge of new skills or behavior that you should develop TO implementing these practically and progressively over time.
  • We encourage explicit over implicit learning as this gives you greater awareness of what you have/are learning and greater leverage to use it consciously.
  • To grow as a leader you have to get out of your comfort zone into your learning zone. Your learning zone will not feel comfortable until you have mastered the new skills and behaviors you are trying out. It is intended to stretch you (but not overstretch you!). Once you have mastered the new skills and behaviour, this will become your new comfort zone. At this point you should try to improve further on it, or move to the next development area.
  • We encourage reflection. This is a type of metacognition - thinking about thinking. Or stepping outside of yourself to look back on yourself. This is needed from time to time as a form of self assessment and to determine what your next development moves should be.

If you are confident that you have mastered all the material on Module 3, then you are ready to begin with Journey 1: Self - Regulation.
