Personal Effectiveness Training
Personal effectiveness training is a combination of six
skills.
1. Setting and achieving your goals
2. Communicating your message 3.
The ability to build practical plans of action 4.
The ability to handle difficult people 5.
The ability to develop self-confidence, self-motivation and personal
initiative 6. The ability to inspire
confidence, motivation and initiative IN OTHERS
This course sets out the steps needed in order to excel in these six
areas; Here are the details of this personal effectiveness training.
Day One Personal effectiveness training- Day One AM
We need to answer this question: How do you get the best from
yourself and others?
The six key skills of personal effectiveness 1.
Setting realistic goals 2. To clearly
and accurately communicate your message 3.
To be able to write good plans 4. To
handle conflict assertively but fairly and calmly 5.
To self-inspire and develop self confidence 6.
To inspire confidence and motivation in others around you.
The first principle of personal effectiveness:
Decide your “general direction of travel” Decide how you wish to be perceived and
act accordingly Set your short term goals, that will get you moving
Second principle of personal effectiveness: The
need for accurate language How to think, speak and write more clearly How to explain
what you mean: How to get the meaning from those people who are
having trouble explaining their ideas to you How to distinguish
between “critical thinking” and “complaining” How to avoid rookie
mistakes such “the misuse use of humour”.
Personal effectiveness training - Day One PM
Conflict Management Training Upset and conflict is bound to happen, because people don’t
share ALL the same ideas. Conflict can be destructive if it is
mismanaged Conflict can be constructive IF it is well managed.
Proper conflict management requires that you: -
Let them save face Use factual language, not emotive language Give them the way
out: ask them to change their behaviour Be clear about what you want
Separate reasons from excuses Know when to give ground, and to stand
firm
Action planning
Day Two Time Planning and Personal management AM Time
management training
Ask yourself this question: “What is the best possible use of my
time? “Urgency: Deadline pressure” and “Importance: value” are
key indicators. Distinguish between being “busy”, and being
“productive” Your dreaded enemy: the BUSY but NON productive day
Ask yourself: Who wastes my time? The three time
wasters 1.
Other people that you work with 2.
Yourself on a bad day 3. Poor systems
How to delegate your lower value tasks
Delegation is good for 1. Training and developing others
2. Sharing the load 3.
Getting the job done How to prioritise Put
things in order of value How to make accurate decisions
Don’t dither- Decide!
How to handle interruptions The Pareto
principle: The 80/20 rule
80% of the value of the interruption will be in 20% what they actually
say Problem solving Mental mapping of your
problems so as to find their causes and solutions Personal effectiveness -
Day Two PM Self-confidence, self-motivation and personal
initiative
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” But 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:
How to sustain your energy Operate according to the
EDISON success formula The Edison formula is a five word
formula for success: 1. Purpose 2.
Plan 3. Action 4.
Feedback 5. Change What
happens if you reverse this formula? You get failure Failure
is the opposite formula: 1. No purpose - drifter 2.
No plan- wing it 3. No action- lazy
4. Argue with the feedback 5.
Refuse to change- stubbornness. Notice any elements of
the failure formula in yourself and others. Take action against the
failure formula. Summary Final action
planning
The training method follows this general pattern:
- The trainer gives a clear explanation of the point in question.
- The trainer then demonstrates the principle and gives specific
examples.
- Then, the delegates practice by doing an exercise with each other.
- The delegates practice by doing 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!
