Planning Your Own Development

As the  person with the most to gain from your own development, you should take an  active role in planning for it. This module encourages you to plan ahead. We  will look at the different types of learner and the resources required to  complete your plan.

Dealing with Stress

Stress  is the result of being under a pressure that exceeds your ability to cope.  This module looks at sources of stress and the behavioural and health  indicators. We will all suffer with stress at some point in our working  lives, this module offers advice on dealing with stress and explores ways in  which you can reduce your stress levels.

Negotiation Skills

The aim  of negotiation is to reach an agreement. This module explores the six phases  of negotiation: preparation and planning, opening, exploring, testing,  bargaining and closing and will equip you with the knowledge to carry out  effective negotiations.

Decision Making

Decisions  need to be made on a daily basis, but what is the best way to make a  decision? This module looks at the ICES process and the use of a decision  matrix to help you to make a choice.

Confidence

Your  confidence levels can suffer if you're uncertain about what’s expected of  you, this module encourages you to use questioning techniques to clarify the  situation. We will look at ways in which you can boost and maintain your  confidence levels and explore the importance of body language.

Resilience

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.

Problem Solving

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.

Time Management

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.

Setting Objectives

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.

Making Objectives Happen

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 Troubleshooting

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.

Remote Working

How to be assertive

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.
