You will receive a comprehensive understanding of how to realise those improvements, solve any issues at hand, eliminate their causes, and the best methods to succeed in your career.
Professional Development Training
Jim O'Connor Professional Development Training is a one-to-many program, delivered in an informal lecture style which encourages open dialogue to maximize learning outcomes, develop support within the group, break down barriers to engagement and improve synchronicity and flow.
I offer programs which I have previously developed for the market, or I can work with you to tailor a package to your particular requirements. If you would like a program tailored specifically for your circumstances, the first step is to arrange a meeting to discuss your learning requirements. Following that meeting, I will design a program for your evaluation and approval. Once approved I then deliver the program at a time and place convenient to you.
The key areas I provide training in are:
- Personal Effectiveness
- Increasing Efficiency
- Building Complementary Relationships
- Building Highly Effective Teams
- Leadership
- Influence
- Presenting
- Conflict Resolution
- Positive Problem Solving
- Building team cohesion
Professional Development Training is an excellent way to ensure that staff throughout your organization are applying a the most effective, standardized, and proven, method of workplace management and leadership. It establishes the foundations for a positive culture and the essential tools to produce elite performance, both from those who attend the training, as well as any employees they manage.
The Master Class
Navigating the Corporate Landscape
The Master Class Program is a specialized program designed to grow the talents and capabilities of high performing executives associates and business professionals. This program takes a small group of select individuals through an advanced program of professional development. Presented in an informal open group, lecture and Q & A format this program teaches the participants how to get the best out of themselves and their people as they build highly effective teams and grow into influential leaders. The program is designed to run over a either a 6 month or 12 month period with 10 - 20 sessions of 2 hours each. During these sessions the participants will be provided with evidence based frameworks and practical strategies that support personal and interpersonal effectiveness. Whilst some organizations, offer short duration intensive courses with similar goals, we have found that running the course in this fashion allows the candidates to apply techniques incrementally and to track and discuss the results they achieve. It also allows the material to be adapted to reflect any unique workplace environment which may be encountered. Short duration, multiple classes set over a longer period ensures the greatest possible learning and retention.
The topics covered include:
- How to create an Effective Personal Brand.
- What is personal effectiveness?
- How do you become personally effective?
- The basic and advanced strategies for effectiveness
- Positive problem solving, the importance of positive bias
- Understanding fulfilment in the corporate space
- The importance of authentic confidence in personal effectiveness
- Interpersonal Effectiveness and how to build complementary relationships
- Understanding group psychology and how to navigate a competitive environment
- How to develop highly effective teams
- Effective communication
- How to manage conflict within the group
- Motivation and persuasion
- Leadership and Visioning
- What is a leader
- What are the differences between good and bad leaders
- How to lead a group
The Master Class is an advanced course of study which will appeal to candidates who have a willingness and an ability to develop their capabilities as they grow to become highly effective leaders in your organization.
