Explainer Video – Self-Awareness (Module Introduction)
Overview
This asset is a short explainer video introducing the concept of self-awareness as part of a larger Emotional Intelligence course. The video breaks down the core components of self-awareness in a simple, engaging way, helping learners understand why it is the foundation of emotional intelligence and how it connects to the rest of the module.
Purpose / Audience
The video is designed for employees and managers who are developing their emotional intelligence skills. Its purpose is to provide a clear, accessible introduction that prepares learners for deeper exploration of self-awareness throughout the module.
Process
I began by outlining the key learning objectives for the Emotional Intelligence module and identifying where learners commonly struggle with understanding self-awareness. Using that foundation, I drafted a concise narrative script and storyboard. I then used animation and visual storytelling to illustrate concepts such as recognizing emotions, understanding triggers, and reflecting on behaviors.
Outcome
The final video provides a clear, engaging starting point for learners, helping them build a strong conceptual foundation before moving into practice activities and assessments. It increases learner readiness, supports comprehension, and enhances the overall flow of the Emotional Intelligence module.
