Getting off the Ground Globally

Personal & Professional Development

Most people engaged in today's complex professional world occasionally need the following quality boosters:

• Communications: Managerial communications includes written and oral presentations (best practices for e-mail, memos, PowerPoint presentations, keynote speeches, meetings, etc.) ; Non-Violent Communications addresses the manner in which we can best communicate with other people in an efficient manner devoid of harmful, hurtful and unnecessary stress and antagonism. Intercultural Management demystifies communications between cultures, be they national or corporate cultures.

• Life Plan Creation & Management: Students, secretaries, assistants, managers and higher executives learn how to self- and co-evaluate through benchmarking with peers; create a Life Plan and master methods to maintain it; improve rapport and communications skills; challenge obsolete or negative beliefs that keep us from moving ahead; improve self-esteem and assurance; and discover how to self-promote in a pleasing and efficient manner.

• Career Development: Young adults, MBA graduates, seasoned business people and even "young" retirees stop wasting time and are able to drive through to their personal and professional goals thanks to seminars or private coaching sessions that involve self-assessment, goal-setting, résumé(CV)-writing and salary and contract negotiations.

• Creativity: Managers, engineers, doctors and nurses who have a tendency to jump to conclusions too quickly on the job, often resulting in unnecessary error, or who persist in one-sided thinking, can learn how to use their right (creative) brains as well as their left (rational) brains to enhance performance. Creativity teaches "old dogs new tricks" by getting them to take new perspectives on routine problems through sensory development, detail analysis, synthesis and application of artistic expression in problem-solving exercises.
