DIGITAL LATITUDES SOFT SKILLS BUSINESS COURSES
GET THE PROMOTION YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED - AND RECESSION-PROOF YOUR JOB
AND YOUR CAREER!
In this economy, every day is a struggle to survive. People are
losing their jobs in record numbers. Finding a new job is as difficult
as ever. And the people who are fortunate enough to have a job are
being asked to do even more, often with fewer resources.
Imagine actually MOVING AHEAD in your career and getting that
promotion (or making that career change) - in one of the toughest
economic climates on record. It's possible!
DO YOU HAVE THE ONE SKILL SET THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE MISSING?
“More and more companies are looking for employees with strong
communication, analytical, and interpersonal skills. These are the
skills that will be needed in 2010 and beyond...” (Education Week)
Anyone can learn their company's products and markets. But most
people lack the very skills they need to move ahead in today's
competitive economy - PEOPLE SKILLS and PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS. Those
are the skills that managers need, and companies desperately look for.
“The world of the early twenty-first century will be one in which
learning must go on, out of necessity, throughout working life. In a
global economy, increasing levels of competition create more and more
change. The person who attempts to coast, only applying what he or she
has learned in the past, will have an increasingly difficult time
being competitive in a tough global labor market. Economic forces will
make 'grow or die' the maxim.” (John P. Kotter, “Lifetime Learning,”
The Futurist).
OUR SOFT SKILLS COURSES GIVE YOU PEOPLE SKILLS AND ANALYTICAL SKILLS
NEEDED TO SUCCEED IN THIS GLOBAL ECONOMY
We've developed 15 E-Learning courses on the topics you need to
build the powerful people skills and analytical skills that will put
your career on the fast track! Skills that will help you succeed in
any job, any industry, in any economic climate. You won't find this
powerful a list of courses anywhere in business today:
CAPITALIZING ON CHANGE: Change is a certainty in today's
environment. The key to surviving and thriving is to take a proactive
approach to change. This program provides the tools to assess typical
attitudes toward change, intervene in the change cycle with positive
strategies, and combat change-related stress.
DELEGATING FOR GROWTH: Often misunderstood and poorly implemented,
effective delegation can be a highly successful method to increase
productivity and build capability among employees. This program will
help managers and supervisors select the right person for delegation,
and implement a five (5) step process for effective delegation.
EFFECTIVE COACHING SKILLS: Most managers are aware that the old
school "command and control" method of supervising simply isn't as
effective as involving employees in their development. From
determining the appropriate coaching approach, to implementing a
comprehensive development plan, to conducting an effective coaching
session, to setting meaningful team missions and goals, this program
provides the tools and techniques to increase any employee's
performance.
GIVING AND RECEIVING FEEDBACK: Would you like to give feedback that
sticks? Do you ever hesitate to give feedback because you’re not sure
what to say? Do you get defensive when someone gives you feedback?
This program will give you answers to these questions as well as ideas
about making you and your employees more productive, minimizing
conflicts and misunderstandings that can disrupt work flow and being
more confident in your ability to recognize your employee’s needs and
communicate solutions.
INTERVIEWING AND HIRING: Hiring quality employees is one of the most
critical tasks in any organization. The basis of effective
interviewing is asking the right questions. Let’s face it. If you ask
candidates hypothetical questions you will get hypothetical answers.
In this program you will learn the art of interviewing systematically
so that you are getting the information that is most critical for job
performance. Identify competencies associated with the job, conduct
interviews and practice evaluating and recruiting candidates in this
highly interactive curriculum.
INCREASING YOUR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: People with high emotional
intelligence are poised, outgoing and cheerful, have empathy for
others, express their feelings directly but appropriately, and have a
capacity for developing meaningful relationships. All of these traits
are very important aspects of a collaborative, high achieving
workplace. This program offers you techniques to increase and develop
your emotional intelligence. It guides you through proven methods to
apply emotional intelligence in the workplace to enhance employee
relationships and increase productivity.
LEADING AND MOTIVATING: The premise of this program is that
motivation is not something you do to others; people motivate
themselves. This program is about helping managers and supervisors
create the appropriate climate that fosters positive feelings and
eliminates obstacles, then employees will be intrinsically motivated.
“Leading and Motivating” focuses on providing the skills and
techniques you will need to help groups develop a sense of community,
to acquire influence over their work-related actions, and to enjoy the
openness of shared information and feelings.
MAKING A PRESENTATION: How many of you have ever viewed a
presentation where it was clear the presenter was ill-prepared?
“Clicker culture” refers to the vast majority of people in our
culture—and in your audience—who have been conditioned by media (TV,
movies, video, computers, blogs, Twitter, etc.). The average “sound
bite” is 15-20 seconds and getting shorter. If your presentation
doesn’t get and keep their attention, they’ll “click and change
channels.” They may be physically present but mentally elsewhere. In
this program you'll learn how to make your presentations meaningful,
memorable and motivating.
MANAGING DIFFICULT INTERACTIONS: While challenging and often
unpleasant, difficult interactions at work don’t necessarily have to
end negatively with hard feelings and lack of trust. This course
provides participants with perspectives and techniques that help
diffuse anger and frustration and create greater understanding when
difficult interactions occur. Participants will learn why interactions
often become difficult, learn strategies to resolve difficult
interactions and establish new approaches that will prevent negative
interactions in the future.
MANAGING FOR PERFORMANCE: Learn to develop standards and the steps
for results based measurements in this program for managers and and
supervisors. Managers will learn how to assess performance based on
established standards and will also learn how to support employees as
they work to meet and exceed goals. You will learn a process to
develop clear standards, manage performance and conduct formal and
informal performance discussions in this comprehensive program.
MANAGING YOUR TIME: A simple glance at the desks of various workers
reveals different organizational and time management practices that
individuals have adapted to their personality. Personality preferences
have an impact on how individuals successfully manage their time.
Different approaches to time management are equally effective and
neither approach is better than the other. In this program you will
learn how to increase your personal effectiveness by using management
techniques that fit your personality. You will apply time saving
techniques, learn ways to overcome procrastination and find out a
variety of methods to living a balanced life.
PERSUADING AND INFLUENCING OTHERS: Lay the foundation for more
effective communication in this highly interactive workshop. Develop
creative ways to establish rapport and build relationships through a
deeper awareness of the power of nonverbalcommunication. Learn how to
avoid common communication barriers. Recognize communication styles
preferences, and tailor your communication to be more effective with
each style. Learn methods for de-escalating difficult situations and
to effectively resolve conflicts.
RUNNING A MEETING: One of the most fundamental, yet critical, skills
for managers and staff members is planning and executing a successful
meeting. This course offers participants tips and techniques that
focus on building an agenda, identifying roles and responsibilities of
meeting participants, making decisions and ensuring effective follow
up after the meeting. Learn to increase your productivity dramatically
with successful meetings.
SOLVING BUSINESS PROBLEMS: Course participants will learn how to
integrate creativity with analytic thinking for effective problem
solving, and to develop critical thinking skills. Creative problem
solving is a valuable skill for today's fast-changing world.
Participants will learn how to write problem statements, analyze root
causes as well as create and evaluate potential solutions. An
innovative mindset not only identifies and evaluates great ideas for
the marketplace; it also focuses on solving customer problems.
THE ART AND SCIENCE OF COMMUNICATION: Good communication skills are
essential for every employee at every level. The ability to convey
ideas, give and receive feedback, resolve differences and persuade
others is as important as technical competence in a job. This course
shares the basic communication model, helps employees identify common
barriers to effective communication, and tailor different
communication styles to various personalities.

SCENARIO-BASED LEARNING GIVES YOU A POWERFUL EDGE
Scenario-based learning has proven to be one of the most powerful
ways to learn, because you're dealing with an ACTUAL SITUATION. Most
of our business skills courses have two components: a 30-45 minute
knowledge based course, where you learn the basics of a particular
topic, and then an accompanying, scenario-based case study, where you
put what you've learned to use.
The case study has an attached STUDY GUIDE, where you'll be asked a
powerful series of questions to help guide your thought processes and
decision-making. The study guide also includes a possible resolution,
where you can compare your solution with that of the authors of the
course.
