Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self Stress and Performance ▪ A low degree of stress is associated with low performance ▪ High stress can set the system into fight-or-flight mode which leads to less brain activity in the cortical areas where higher-level learning happens ▪ Moderate levels of cortisol tend to correlate with the highest performance on tasks of any type.

Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self SETTING GOALS FOR SUCCESS Determining the sense of goal-setting, motivation, self-efficacy and good mindset Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self Goals ▪ Observable and measurable end result of several objectives that are to be accomplished in a given time frame ▪ Desired results or outcomes one wishes to achieve Vision vs. Goals ▪ Vision is an idea of what you want to be or what you want to do ▪ Goals are more specific:“what do I need to do to reach my vision” Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self Are GOALS important? ❖ Guide to act ▪ They determine, what you want to do, where you want to go. ❖ Motivates one’s behavior ▪ Energizes people to move. ▪ No goal = No motivation (They give us direction and purpose). Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self Goal Setting Theory (Edwin Locke and Gary Latham) ❖Goal setting is essentially linked to task performance. ❖Specific and challenging goals along with appropriate feedback contribute to higher and better task performance. ❖Goals indicate and give direction to a person about what needs to be done and how much effort is required to be put in. Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self S - Specific Your goal should be clear and specific, otherwise you won't be able to focus your efforts or feel truly motivated to achieve it. Six “W” questions: ▪ Who: Who is involved? ▪ What: What do I want to accomplish? ▪ Where: Identify a location. ▪ When: Establish a time frame. ▪ Which: Identify requirements and constraints. ▪ Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal. Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self M - Measurable Setting measurable goals is important in order to track your progress and stay motivated. When you measure your progress, you stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort required to reach your goal. To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as: ▪ How much? How many? ▪ How will I know when it is accomplished? Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self A – Action Plan ▪ Goals need to be realistic and achievable for it to be successful. ▪ Goals should also motivate you to stretch your abilities towards proper planning. ▪ You will further begin to identify different resources that can bring you closer to it. Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self R – Relevant ▪ Relevant goals must also be applicable to the present situation and aligned to the vision you set. ▪ Your goal matters to you Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self T – Time Bound ▪ Every goal needs a deadline, this will motivate you and help you focus toward your goal.

Truman for her lifelong humanitarian achievements Social Cognitive Theory (Albert Bandura) ❖Albert Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory emphasizes how cognitive, behavioral, personal, and environmental factors interact to determine motivation and behavior. ❖Self-efficacy is the belief we have in our own abilities, specifically our ability to meet the challenges ahead of us and complete a task successfully. Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self Four Factors that influence people’s beliefs about their effectiveness Mastery Vicarious Verbal Emotional and Experiences Experiences Persuasion Physiological (Performance (Social Role States Outcomes) Models) Mastery Experiences Vicarious Experiences (Performance Outcomes) (Social Role Models) Refers to the experiences Observing other people one gain when they successfully complete a successfully take on a task new challenge.

Take active part in the learning process 2. Be accountable, learn from difficulties. 3. Seek feedback, reach out to others 4. Rest if you must but never quit. Growth Mindset Theory (Carol Dweck) According to Carol Dweck, individuals can be placed on a continuum according to their implicit views of "where ability comes from". Dweck states that there are two categories (growth mindset versus fixed mindset) that can group individuals based on their behaviour, specifically their reaction to failure Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self Growth Mindset - It is the belief that one's abilities, talents, and intelligence can be developed through effort and learning. Those with a "fixed mindset" believe that abilities are mostly innate and interpret failure as the lack of necessary basic abilities, while those with a "growth mindset" believe that they can acquire any given ability provided they invest effort or study.
