Your 'personal brand'
You know that you want to be more successful and yet you're not sure what more you can do to achieve this. Time is slipping by. You want to be noticed in this over-marketed, media-saturated world - inside your business or even globally. You may be feeling insufficiently recognised for the super-human efforts you've been making for years. Maybe you want to stand above your peer group? Just like businesses that spend billions investing in brand development it is possible to raise your own profile in positive ways.
Feedback- giving and receiving
The most progressive organisations are often those that encourage a free flow of frequent and constructive feedback on performance - both upwards, downwards and sideways. As a senior person in your organisation you are required to achieve results through the efforts of your whole team. To get the best from others they need to know what is expected of them and how they are measuring up against specific goals and/or performance indicators that have been agreed in writing.
Waste of time management
How we use our time is a critical skill if we are to consistently achieve the results we need in the workplace, or indeed, what we want to achieve in our lives. Almost every day we discover that our clients' employees are ineffective at managing their time and this applies equally to executives and managers as new entrants. Time management 'systems' offered in the market as solutions to time management problems today can be too complex and time consuming to use. In many cases they may be entirely inappropriate for your needs. If you are not careful, you can spend all of your time planning and organising your work and end up not delivering anything. OvationXL take a different approach by providing practical tips that can be implemented to great effect on Day One.
Set SMART goals
The main reason most people drop goals, including New Year's resolutions, is that they have not defined their goals sufficiently for them to stick. A SMART goal needs to be Specific, Measureable, Achievable (or acceptable), Realistic (or reasonable) and has a timescale. For example, "I'm going to recycle all my plastic bottles, cans, and magazines" is a much more achievable goal than "I'm going to do more for the environment" and that makes it easier to stick with. Many people describe themselves as good at starting things though they are less skilled at follow through. Goal setting is a core skill that helps the more successful business people to keep up momentum when delivering initiatives.
