Personal effectiveness

Course description

As our world becomes increasingly complex and challenging, it becomes more difficult to focus on what is important and what will really move you forward. In this course, you will discover more about your values and talents and how they can help you identify your personal ambition and move towards it.

This requires making powerful choices that trigger your intrinsic motivation. The resulting change is sustainable because you are committed to the results.

In this course, you will make the connection between being who you really want to be and your actions. What will you say yes and no to? How can you communicate effectively about what you feel strongly about? You will also learn how to ‘stay in the moment’ and focus on subtle communication signals from yourself and others. You will recognize your pitfalls and stress signals and develop techniques to turn them into new opportunities. Building on your values and talents, you will enhance your communication style and behavior authentically and ultimately achieve higher performance for yourself and your organization.
