Self-Esteem: Self-Discipline and Emotional Control at Work

How you express yourself – your thoughts and your feelings – depends upon how you well you share your emotions, how assertive you are and how independent you are.

Self-Discipline and emotional control affect the way that you express your emotions.  Emotional expression is one of the ways that you use your emotional intelligence.  The course covers the action part of how you share your inner world with others. 

Self-esteem and a positive self-perception underpins confidence and self-worth.  It is a fundamental part of self-discipline, the ability to manage our impulses and follow through on goals.

Self-esteem isn’t about being arrogant or boastful, it’s about having a healthy sense of self-worth and confidence that enables you to interact with the world in a way that commands respect from others.

Emotional control, the ability to manage our reactions, further strengthens self-esteem though setting clear expectations, communicating openly, and respecting other people’s boundaries that supports healthy relationships with others.

This course is a stand alone course for anyone interested in understanding themselves better and communicating with other people with more impact.  It forms part of a comprehensive course that explores emotional intelligence in more depth. 

Emotions are not about being soft and fluffy, they are vital in helping you to make hard, direct management decisions. Expressing your emotions well can mean engaging withand persuading otherswith more influence and impact. 

In this course, we will explore the way that you express your emotions and how this drives your self-confidence, your assertiveness, and your emotional independence. You’ll receive all the information that you need and will be coached using loads of practical hints that you can use straight away.

The course is made up of a series of lectures that include a number of interactive practical activities.  These involve some engagement with other people and some reflection.

The course material makes up a one to two day workshop so is equivalent to 8 -12 hour’s training.  It forms part of our advanced emotional intelligence courseendorsed by the Institute of Leadership and Management.

PLEASE NOTE – This course is NOT for you if you are not prepared to work through the practical activities that make up a fundamental part of the course.  Expressing your emotions more effectively cannot be developed by learning some techniques through watching a few video lectures.  The course requires you to do some reflective thinking, to get some feedback and to discuss your development with others.  I’m afraid that you won’t get the best from the course unless you are prepared to do this.
