Self appraisal results in understanding and insight by revealing thoughts and ideas which we may have been harboring subconsciously but have never before been expressed or articulated. Very often it is not necessarily the results of your self appraisal that are significant, but the process of thinking about these issues helps to generate ideas, offer insights and provide a stimulus for action. All too often we have certain hopes and ideas for the future, but fail to turn them to reality, simply because we haven’t had the time to consider them at length. It is only when we give ourselves the opportunity to discuss or describe our ideas that they begin to assume a more tangible form.
