WHAT OUR DEFINITION OF OWNERSHIP IS:


Ownership is acknowledging, accepting, and taking control of all of you - strengths, weaknesses, behaviors, actions, fears, traumas, emotions, and past.

WHY OWNERSHIP IS SO IMPORTANT:


Ownership puts you in charge of your life. Only when you jump in the driver's seat can you take control of the direction of your existence. Not only does it bring healing, but it also builds self-confidence and creates great leaders. In turn, it fosters collaboration, trust, healthy relationships, and conflict resolution.


In addition, successful people embrace exactly which attributes contribute to their success, which ones still need to be developed, and which ones they need to avoid.

Let’s dive deeper:

Character Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Owning your strengths will instantly boost your confidence. Walking boldly in those strengths will quickly lead to growth, strong relationships, and success.

  • Owning your weaknesses is equally important for your confidence and growth. Trying to hide your flaws leads to insecurity, fear, and causes others not to like or trust you.

Actions, Behaviors, and Consequences

  • Acknowledging that all actions have consequences, you are able to see the role your behaviors play in any situation.

  • Understanding that you own the results of your behavior will change your paradigm regarding how you act and how you react to any situation.

Fear, Trauma, Pain, and Emotions

  • Acknowledging and accepting life’s events allows a quicker resolve in your healing.

  • Understanding that pain is pain and that suffering is a choice, you can choose how to respond to the trauma.

  • Owning the pain takes the power away from the source of that pain, which creates confidence, purpose, and impact.


WHERE OWNERSHIP FITS INTO YOUR PERSONAL BRAND:


Your personal brand is YOU! It is everything that makes you who you are and how others experience you.


Here's the thing, most people never experience the real YOU because it's buried behind insecurities, fears, traumas, anxiety, overwhelm, and lack of self-awareness and self-development. With strong self-awareness, you will be able to cultivate and define your own brand and control how others see and respond to you.
OWNERSHIP OF YOUR BRAND THROUGH SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING PUTS YOU IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE

You can only powerfully control your personal brand by acknowledging and owning everything about yourself- the good, the bad, and the ugly.


No blaming, no finger-pointing, no avoiding responsibility, but also no denying all the amazing things about yourself. It takes a great deal of vulnerability and strength to be honest with yourself and to show it all to the world. The reward is that it creates trust and draws people to you. You will be able to control your own destiny.

HOW TO DEVELOP OWNERSHIP:


Taking ownership is not a basic human trait. To take control of your life, either as an educator or a student, it is essential that you develop self-awareness, vulnerability, and responsibility.

Without training and guidance, our natural responses range from confusion, anger, insecurity, and fear to the inability to relate to our own state of mind and the unwillingness to accept responsibility for our own actions. That stumps self-betterment and prevents us from evolving into our personal best.

Here are our four building blocks to help you own all of you:

How to develop ownership of you with Social Emotional Learning by Rock My Campus

Awareness

  • Discover your character strengths and how they help you to maneuver powerfully through issues

  • Identify your weaknesses and fully embrace them while using your strengths to overcome them

  • Understand what causes you to behave or react in a certain way and what changes need to be made

  • Name your fears, traumas, pains, and emotions so that you can begin to tame them

Acknowledgment

  • Identify the problem

  • Identify your part in the problem

  • Identify how your choices and actions affect you

  • Identify how your choices and actions affect others

  • Identify what control did/do you have

Acceptance

  • Admit and embrace all of you- the good, the bad, the ugly

  • Realize that you are perfectly imperfect

  • Know that accepting doesn’t mean that you stay the same

  • Choose to own rather than be owned by our past circumstances

Accountability

  • Designate someone you trust to keep you on track


*A professional should work with trauma patients to help them work through their circumstances. However, these tools are very beneficial to help with common, day-to-day issues.
