A practical Personal Development course on Self-Awareness, values, emotions, habits, strengths, and growth.
Self-Awareness is more than thinking about yourself; it is the skill of noticing what shapes your choices and how you show up in the world. In this course, Professor Michael Edwards guides you through the foundations of self-knowledge, helping you understand the difference between seeing yourself clearly and simply collecting opinions about yourself.
You will explore your core identity by examining the values that drive your decisions, the beliefs and assumptions that filter your thinking, and the emotional triggers that influence your reactions. The course also helps you recognize patterns in behavior, habits, and automatic responses so you can interrupt unhelpful cycles and build better ones. These lessons support Personal Development by giving you a clearer picture of what is working, what is not, and why.
As you move into strengths, limits, and social self-awareness, you will learn how to identify your strengths without overestimating them, understand your growth edges, and receive feedback without defensiveness. You will also see how others may experience you under stress and pressure, which is essential for better communication, leadership, and decision-making. With practical reflection practices and a personalized self-awareness plan, you will leave the course with tools you can use immediately and a mindset that helps you make wiser choices, relate more effectively, and grow with greater confidence.
