PERSONAL COMPETENCE

Personal competence is all about how you manage yourself. Someone with a strong EQ will show the following personal characteristics.

Self-Awareness

This is when you know your emotions and the effects of them. You can accurately assess your strengths and weaknesses.

For example, some people know they have a temper and others are unaware they have one. Some folks know they get intimidated by bullies; others aren’t clear that they behave that way.

As a result of knowing your strengths, limits, and emotions, you tend to be confident about yourself as a whole. You have a strong sense of your own self, you like yourself, and you value your contributions to those around you. Furthermore, you’re normally clearer than the average person about your goals, your fears, and what you most value in life.
