SESSION OVERVIEW
Personal effectiveness is the key to achieving greater success at work. It’s not just about the end goal, but rather the tools, time and use of personal resources (i.e. talents, skills and abilities) to achieve results for both yourself and the organization. How you manage responsibilities, strive for higher standards and interact with others determine your effectiveness at work. These factors also contribute to how people perceive your credibility, reputation and influence. This session focuses on using “self” as an instrument to manage organizational factors (e.g. leadership, team dynamics, workplace culture, etc.) that may hinder your effectiveness in the workplace.
Our panel of experts will provide practical tools to improve self-management as well as techniques to fulfill professional goals and enhance job performance. We will explore topics essential to developing personal effectiveness such as prioritizing and planning, quality assurance and developing working relationships.
You should attend this panel discussion if you want to:
Assess your current effectiveness in terms of personal qualities, work habits and external influencing factors to enable improvement
Understand adverse behaviors that impact your personal effectiveness
Deal with interruptions, workplace conflict and difficult employees
Identify practical tools that sustain personal effectiveness and lead to higher productivity
