SMART GOALS: Setting Up for Success and Managing the Journey
Top-level athletes, businesspeople, and achievers in all fields set goals. Why? Goals give you long-term vision, help you connect to an end game, and provide short-term motivation to power through the daily grind. The challenge about goals is that we often set them, and then set them aside. We just run on autopilot, only to struggle to operate at optimal levels and exceed expectations—that makes it difficult to ask for promotions and raises. This program will provide fundamental strategies for creating and employing SMART goals that work , tracking results and ultimately substantiating our value to ace those fun ( not ) performance reviews.

MANAGE YOUR ATTENTION (NOT YOUR TIME)
Have you noticed that more and more people want more and more of your attention? So much so that algorithms are working day and night to figure out how to attract and capture your attention. That’s because your attention has value. Including dollar value! But we often don’t value our own attention as much as others apparently value it. It’s sometimes frustrating to reflect on what we’ve given our attention to when we compare that to what we say we value. We’ll look at why managing your attention is so important and some practical ways to manage your valuable attention to improve productivity, relationships and wellbeing.

MANAGING UP, DOWN & ACROSS: A Balance between Being Human & Strategic
The majority of the work you do requires assistance or cooperation from people who are in the same part of your organization—and those who aren’t. Being in the middle can be messy. But neglecting to manage up, down and across effectively may cost you opportunities for growth. The solution isn’t about avoiding work, rebelling, or kissing up. It’s about how to understand others and learning to influence in all directions. This program will provide fresh perspectives and fundamental tactics for establishing authority, cultivating trust and followership, and driving results—while protecting your goals and reputation.

Organisations, teams and relationships, at their core, are created and sustained by conversations.

So the quality of our conversations is going to have a direct influence on the quality of relationships, connections, trust, collaboration … pretty much everything. Explore the ways you can sharpen your conversational intelligence to bring out the best in yourself and others.

INTRAPRENEURSHIP: A Fresh Perspective on Elevating Your Role & Brand Value
Companies recognize that they must continually innovate to maintain a place in the market—it’s simply a matter of sinking or swimming. That’s where YOU come in. Intrapreneurship is acting like an entrepreneur inside your established company. The beauty is that you’re not building something entirely from scratch, nor risking your own money. This program reveals strategies for developing an intrapreneurial mindset and how growth can take shape from your desk as you embrace change and evolve your own brand for the long term.

3 HABITS OF EXCELLENT LEADERS
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act but a habit,” Aristotle told us. While all of us strive to be excellent, much of what we do is habit, including the ways we seek to influence others. Some habits are useful – even excellent – and create positive effects. Others, not so much. Tap the potential of three practical, everyday habits of effective leadership that can create and sustain excellence around you.
