Time pressures impact our work and personal lives as we aim to achieve higher levels of performance with less resource (time) to achieve it. The ability to manage time is an essential skill for effective people. Time management is not about cramming more work into your day, it is about doing better work, with less stress and knowing you have achieved what you set out to do.

This session will be remotely delivered via MS Teams. Please check the joining instructions under Additional Information.

How do you come across? What effect do you have on those around you?

Your Personal Impact has a major influence on your life, whether from within yourself, how you work with others and how others affect you. This positive, inspiring and very interactive, practical one day workshop explores techniques to enable you to
come across with the impact you need to staff, colleagues and customers and important contacts. It will help you to think differently about your own
behaviour and identify ways to build strong relationships with others.

You will need to be prepared to analyse your own impact as well as understand the feedback from others, raising yourself-awareness about how you come across, and what you need to know about other people in order to have the positive impact you want on them.

This course will discuss your impact on others and developing your personal brand – described as “what people say about you when you leave the room” (Jeff Bezos) and how we can come across in order for people to buy in to you and your ideas.

The course introduces trusted techniques in how to deal with difficult situations and handle conflict in a direct, calm and controlled manner (“Assertiveness”), in order to recognise and appreciate the different communication needs of people.
The course will be highly interactive, please bring your specific examples of having to deal particular situations.
