Faced with a challenging work life, many people simply cope. But ‘making the best of it’ seldom allows us to do our best. Effective self-management is essential for the professional who wishes to do their best, lead themselves and lead others, and is a foundation of setting and achieving valuable, fulfilling goals. This workshop is for the professional who understands that their own self-management is both beneficial and right at hand.
The proposed workshop would be positioned to attract employees who wish to increase their own personal effectiveness within a professional setting. This could especially work if they are – or will be soon – placed into the position of leading others (either for the first time as a first-line manager or, if recently promoted, to another level of leadership). As an offering through CPD, the course would fit into the catalog offerings as a “general” (i.e. not domain or occupation specific) course, and as such could fall under various of the functional classifications (e.g. Business and Management, Entrepreneurship, Human Performance, Leadership).
