I found all the course content very useful, even the topics I didn't think I needed training on. The most beneficial topics were decision making, managing emotions, conflicts and communication. The trainer was very engaging, using a lot of great examples. There was not a boring moment in the two days I attended. He made sure that we left knowing exactly what we needed to work on and how we can implement the changes. Thank you!

Personal Effectiveness Training - Day One - Morning
Introductions
We need to answer this question:How do you get the best from yourself and others?
You need to get the best performance from other people. But the only way to do that is to first, get the best performance from yourself.
How can you get the best performance from yourself? Develop the key skills of personal effectiveness.
The six key skills of personal effectiveness
- Setting realistic goals
- To clearly and accurately communicate your message
- To be able to write good plans
- To handle conflict assertively but fairly and calmly
- To self-inspire and develop self confidence
- To inspire confidence and motivation in others around you.
The first principle of personal effectiveness: Goal Setting
Decide your "direction of travel". You must know what it is that you want. Set your goals.
Decide how you wish to be perceived by others at work, and then resolve to act accordingly.
Set your short term goals, which will get you moving in the right direction, today
Second principle of personal effectiveness: Clear communication
There is a need for accurate language
You need to know:
- How to think, speak and write more clearly
- How to explain exactly what it is that you mean
- How you can get the true meaning from those people who are having trouble explaining their ideas to you
- How to distinguish between "proper critical thinking" and "improper complaining"
- How to avoid rookie mistakes such as the misuse use of humour
- Have a sense of humour, but don't act the clown
Practical exercises for the delegates to learn skills

Personal Effectiveness Training - Day Two - Morning
A selection of food which is available on our open courses - varies per venue
Personal Effectiveness Training - Day Two - Afternoon
You are profoundly affected by how you feel:
If you feel strong, then you work well. If you feel weak, then you don't work well
Question: How can you make yourself feel strong, even when the situation is bad?
You need to create your own Self-confidence, self-motivation and personal initiative
You need to know how to create and sustain a positive mental attitude
How your attitude is self-fulfilling
Your attitude is the sum total of your thoughts, feelings and beliefs about any issue.
Your attitudes are important because they affect how you act, in any situation.
You need to create and sustain a "Positive mental attitude".
Question: What exactly constitutes a "positive attitude" and how do you get one?
Manage your thoughts and you will manage your feelings
Manage your thoughts and you will manage your language. When the demands are high:
Manage your own conversation
Don't allow yourself to say anything! Edit out some of the complaining and fear, from your own speech patterns
Manage their negative conversation
Don't listen to anything. Stand guard at the doors of your mind!
How to sustain your energy
Energy and vitality are a part of your routine
Operate according to the EDISON success formula
The Edison formula is a five word formula for success:
- Purpose: Name the goal
- Plan: Formulate a detailed plan of action
- Action: Implement the plan
- Feedback: Find out what is working and what is not working
- Change: Change whatever is not working. Improve the plan and repeat
What happens if you reverse this formula? You get failure
Failure is the opposite formula:
- No purpose - drifter - no goals
- No plan- wing it - no idea
- No action- lazy - no progress
- Argue with the feedback - no learning
- Refuse to change- stubbornness - no evolution
Notice any elements of the failure formula in yourself and others.
Take action against the failure formula.
The Six Success Formula Questions
Every day ask yourself the following six questions, and come up with six plausible answers.
- What are your major definite goals for this coming week (month, year)?
- Where are your 'detailed, written plans of action' that describe exactly how you intend to achieve your goals?
- What have you been doing lately, in terms of achieving your 'major definite goals' and acting on your 'plans of action'?
- What have been the recent feedback results: What has been going well for you lately?
- What has not been going so well for you?
- In respect of what has not been going well, tell me, what specifically do we need to adapt, improve or change, in order to get things back on track? Please give me the details.
In order to condition your own mind, and the minds of every member of the team to act in harmony with the requirements of the success formula, every day, use these six questions to trigger success formula thoughts, feelings, actions and results.

The Course Training Method
The training method follows this general pattern - the training is very interactive and interesting:
- The trainer gives a clear explanation of the point in question with specific examples.
- Then, the delegates practice by doing an exercise with each other.
- The delegates practice by doing an exercise with the trainer.
- All points are supported with full written notes to take away.
-
Delegates are asked to write down an associated action, for each point made.
(At the end of the day, we have about twenty such actions, from which the delegates choose six which are the most personally meaningful).
Note: we do not believe in placing people in any situation of embarrassment by demanding that they 'perform' in front of the whole group. So you can relax: come on this course and be at ease; ready to learn new skills!
