Relationship management: you know how to develop and maintain good relationships, communicate clearly, inspire and influence others, work well in a team, and manage conflict.
Social awareness: you can understand the emotions, needs, and concerns of other people, pick up on emotional cues, feel comfortable socially, and recognise the power dynamics in a group or organisation.

People who self-regulate typically don’t allow themselves to become too angry or jealous, and they don’t make impulsive, careless decisions. They think before they act. Characteristics of self-regulation are thoughtfulness, comfort with change, integrity, and the ability to say no.
Self-management: you’re able to control impulsive feelings and behaviours, manage your emotions in healthy ways, take initiative, follow through on commitments, and adapt to changing circumstances.
We are all different in some way. What sets you apart may seem like a burden, but it’s not. Most of the time it’s what makes you so incredible!
If you understand your emotions, you don’t need to let your feelings rule you. You can trust your intuition and not let your emotions get out of control.
Self-awareness: you recognise your own emotions and how they affect your thoughts and behaviour, know your strengths and weaknesses, and have self-confidence.
“You can’t always wait for the perfect moment. Sometimes you must let go and dare to do it because life is too short to wonder what could have been.” – Marc & Angel Chernoff
Don’t let others convince you that you aren’t strong enough and smart enough. You are. Surround yourself with people who help strengthen you – those who see greatness in you, even when you don’t see it in yourself.
