In today’s fast-paced work, resilience is an important skill for all individuals as it relates to your ability to ‘bounce back’ and move on from challenging situations. This module will help you develop a better understanding of how to be resilient in the face of adversity, by bending instead of breaking under pressure.
When someone, or something, is not performing as expected then a problem exists that needs to be solved. This module explores the P.A.I.D method of problem solving and the creative techniques that can be used to identify the nature of a problem.
This module looks at the sources of time-based problems. Many things can make demands on your time and as those demands build so too will the pressure you’re under, therefore it’s important to not only manage your time but also to set clear goals and prioritise your workload. This module will provide you with advice and guidance on how to manage your time effectively.
Objectives provide individuals with a sense of direction. This module explores the four types of objectives and the characteristics of each. We will look at the S.M.A.R.T method of setting objectives and the two primary approaches, top down and bottoms up.
Objectives are part of our everyday working lives. This module explores the four main types of objective and how to achieve these objectives by following the Make Objectives Happen Loop.
Performance problems are likely to occur at some stage in the workplace. This module will examine the Human Performance system, a method of identifying performance problems before looking for solutions. We will look at how the working environment can influence performance and the importance of giving feedback when dealing with performance problems.
This module looks at the different types of behaviours: passive, aggressive and assertive and considers the factors that can influence how a person behaves, both cultural and generational. We will examine the skills required for assertiveness and how to put them into practice. When faced with criticism or demands, being assertive can be quite difficult, we will uncover some assertive techniques that can be used under these circumstances.
