Chosen topic: “Impact of self-awareness on interpersonal communication in the workplace”
Chosen client group: Adults in the Workplace
Perhaps, Self-awareness mediates one’s ingrained triggers/responses (e.g. from childhood), enabling more conscious/effective/appropriate workplace relationships and interpersonal communication. How? Why?
Possible CONTEXT?
Healthy culture; people; authority figures are all healthy
Unhealthy;
stress/deadlines; uncertainty/unclear goals/roles/competing goals
people; unhealthy relational style, triggers
Two perspectives:
The Individual’s role in the workplace:
As worker (mirror style as child)
towards peers
relating to the authority figures
As someone with authority/responsibility over subordinates: e.g. Boss, HR (mirror style of a parent)
leadership style: …different workplaces align values with differing attachment styles
healthy leadership through attachment lens?:
PAPER – 4 key sections/criteria to be addressed:
1. Present a thoughtfully developed, theoretically based description of the chosen topic, “Impact of self-awareness on interpersonal communication in the workplace”, derived from the appraisal of relevant contemporary literature.
2. A clear theory/research based discussion of the IMPACT OF SELF-AWARENESS (in workplace communication context) on one’s:
(i) sense of self (intra-personal, self-identity) – in general & in the workplace
(ii) relationships with others in the workplace (inter-personal, e.g. colleagues, leaders)
Communication /relating style…
Mine to others
Others to me, responding to healthy and to unhealthy triggering
(iii) ongoing psycho-social adjustment
Self-awareness:

For others to recognise others style or triggers and moderate/adjust responses accordingly
For leadership: enriching your leadership style with attachment style knowledge enables you to better ….. your employees
Recognise that some workplaces values align with some attachment styles

3. Identify appropriate therapeutic interventions that might be helpful for adults in the workplace.
(maybe : coaching, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, psychometric assessments, 360 feedback, mediation, communication skills training, counselling, compassion, power of awareness, feedback, ??)
4. Provide overview of possible complications and co-morbid presentations as a result of the chosen topic self-awareness on communication in the workplace, not being addressed (i.e. if there is no self-awareness, or no efforts to address self-awareness/workplace communication)
