Personal Effectiveness

Whatever your role at work, there will be some areas of your performance that you would like to improve so that you can enhance your personal effectiveness. The courses in this section are for individuals who want to build their skills and boost their personal efficiency.

Our Assertiveness and Confidence Skills courses are aimed at anyone who finds it difficult to get their voice heard at work, to help you build up your self-esteem with colleagues. We also offer Influencing Skills programmes which will teach you how to sway people to your way of thinking, and how to be persuasive through positive influencing.

Sometimes the pressure of work can get too much and so a course from our Stress Management catalogue on how to harness pressure and make it work positively for you would help you turn it around. You will also learn how to recognise the physical and behavioural symptoms of stress in yourself and colleagues.

We have Time Management courses to help you prioritise your workload effectively, Memory Improvement courses which will teach you how to manage large amounts of information whilst planning out projects more efficiently and Career Development courses that can help you get noticed with a cover letter and give you techniques on the best way to handle interviews.
