Answer 1

The quality of self-awareness requires self- reflection. Self - reflection is a process by which any person quietly and honestly looks at himself or herself as a person and then as a leader. Reflective cycles can be used to systematically think about the self - awareness of any person. Gibbs reflective cycle is an example of such reflective cycles that can be used to understand Katie's self - awareness on her first day in the program. Description, Feelings, Evaluation and Analysis, Conclusions, and Action are the important stages of Gibbs reflective cycle. These stages are described below :-

• Description : We should ask Katie to describe the situation in detail.
• Feelings : We should encourage Katie to talk about what she thought and felt during her experience on first day. We should avoid commenting on her emotions. We can use Empathic listening at this stage to connect with her emotionally, and try to understand things from her point of view. We can also use perceptual positions technique to help her to see the situation from other people's perspectives
• Evaluation and Analysis : Based on the above stages, we should evaluate and analyze the self - awareness of Katie.
• Conclusion : Finally, we could draw the conclusion about Katie's self - awareness.

This is how, we could systematically think about Katie's self-awareness on her first day in the program using the reflective cycle.
