Targets/ Competencies:
Leading others starts with leading yourself. The key to a successful leadership lies within oneself; how can we lead others if we are not able to lead ourselves? Leading oneself starts with awareness and self-reflection, being aware of your own skillset and having the ability to reflect on yourself is the key to success, mastering these enables you to lead with confidence from within.
