New Skills For A New
Business Era
Personnel, executives and companies alike
are currently facing unprecedented pressures and challenges of accelerating
change, globalisation and competition. These new times call for a new
set of skills if we are to survive and thrive in the new market place.
LifethatWorks presents
a suite of training seminars and keynote presentations that provides
the new knowledge, skills and attitudes that people at all levels
of organisations now require for sustainable success in business.
Current research in psychological and
business management literature shows that while we now have less time
than ever to understand ourselves and our interactions with people,
it is in fact this very knowledge that most predicts our success in
business these days. Amanda provides training to enable personnel to
achieve self management and motivation, to improve work performance
and to adjust to changes within the workplace.
Her programs focus on the fit between
individuals and organisational cultures and she assists in guiding change
management and in improving working relations. These seminars are based
on extensive research and experience from organisational psychology
and business management literature and maintain a current focus on cutting-edge
issues and developments.
Current methodology from organisational
psychology links training objectives to evaluation criteria. A pre-training
needs assessment is conducted to identify learning outcomes required
and the results are measured after training. A report of the findings
is available to management
