MC01-Lesson 8: TEDAIM Activities

Identify one recurring emotional pattern (e.g., impatience, defensiveness, withdrawal).
Write: “This pattern usually appears when…”

Observe yourself in three different environments this week—home, a meeting, and a social setting.
Record differences in tone, energy, and behaviour.

Practise the 2-minute presence check before a conversation or task.
Note how it affects your clarity.

Choose a real situation from the past week where your reaction wasn’t ideal.
Rewrite how you would respond now using your new awareness.

Create a personal “Self-Awareness Code”: 3 principles you will use to guide how you show up daily.

Set up a repeating weekly reminder for a 5-minute reflection.
Question: “What did I learn about myself this week?”

Write 120–150 words responding to: “What is one insight I gained about myself this week, and how will it shape the way I show up next week?”

Choose a real workplace moment from the past 7 days where your reaction shaped the outcome (positively or negatively).

In 250–300 words:

• Describe the situation.
• Analyse your internal GPS: What thoughts, emotions, and triggers were active?
• Identify one behaviour you would adjust using self-awareness tools.
• State how this adjustment would influence relationships or results.

Success Criteria

• Clear use of self-awareness concepts
• Evidence of reflection and critical thinking
• Practical, realistic behavioural adjustment
• Alignment with values and role expectations

1. Before starting your day, ask: “Who do I want to be today?”
2. Choose one emotion during the day and label it without judgment.
3. End the day with a 3-line reflection:
   • What worked?
   • What didn’t?
   • What next?
