Who Am I?

Chapter 3 explains that what we do is not the totality of who we are. Our professional identity is shaped and re-shaped by our shifting beliefs and values. This level of heightened self-awareness helps us to make choices that are aligned with our values, creating a greater sense of self-fulfillment and life satisfaction. We list a variety of self-awareness assessment tools you can explore on your own. We also describe emotional intelligence (EI) theory and point to additional online EI assessment tools. These tools can help you to know and articulate your life’s purpose, vision, and mission. The chapter ends with an endorsement of coaching.
