  8. The Origins of our Learning Styles • You have a variety of styles • Your style reflects your preferences you like to use • Your style will change throughout your life • You should work on using less-preferred styles • Work cooperatively with others who have different styles

  9. Self-Concept: “Who Am I?” • Self-concept has 3 parts: • Our physical self – how we look, and our opinion of our physical self • Our social self– they roles we play in our lives. Each are an important part of who we are • Our self-concept contains our personal self, our inner core – contains our innermost thoughts and experiences

  10. Self Concept and Self-Fulfilling Prophecies • Self-fulfilling prophecy – how our beliefs and expectations effect our behavior • To get a clearer picture of who you are: • Examine the roles you play • Identify your strengths and weaknesses • Construct your own definition of who you are • Accept your entire self-concept

  11. Self-Esteem: Building a Positive View of Yourself • Self-esteem is the overall evaluation we give ourselves as individuals • People with high self-esteem are generally happier and cope better • Self-efficacy – the expectation that you are capable of achieving goals • Low self-esteem can produce a cycle of failure

  12. Breaking the Self-Esteem Cycle of Failure • Accept who you are • Accept that everyone has value and self-worth • Distinguish the different parts of who you are • Don’t be dependent upon others’ praise • Building self-esteem is a life-long undertaking

  13. Preparing a Personal Mission Statement • Prepare • Identify your values • Organize • Impose order on what motivates you • Understand Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (insert Maslow’s pyramid here)

  14. Preparing a Personal Mission Statement • Work • Move from our abstract values and motivational needs to concrete and specific goals • Summarize your most important values and needs • Consider what you want your major outcome to be • Reflect on the kind of person you want to be

  15. Preparing a Personal Mission Statement • Evaluate • Does your personal mission statement reflect who you are? • Does it take a long-term view? • Is it general enough? • Rethink • Your personal mission statement is a living document • It changes as your goals become clearer • Periodically revisit your mission statement
