Motivating Yourself and Others:
Setting the Stage for Success
We are all motivated. We are motivated to
do exactly what it is we are doing right now! If we want a different
response from ourselves or others we must "set the stage" or create an
environment that will elicit the desired behavior. Is it a challenge,
recognition, accuracy or consistency that will lead to the desired
outcome? Are the unwanted behaviors being driven by a fear of losing
control, making a mistake, facing social rejection or change? Using the
DiSC® profile you will learn what motivates you and others and the fears that
drive your behaviors. Putting Your Best Forward Great Resume Building and Interviewing
Techniques: Interviewers typically use behavioral-based
interviewing techniques (past behavior as an indicator of future
behavior). As a result, you are asked how you handled a particular
situation and the results. You are often asked to explain your rationale
behind your decision. Questions like these are used to flush out such
characteristics such as judgement, leadership abilities, people skills,
temperament, work ethics and capabilities. Dealing with
Uncertainty
With today's economy and the uncertain job
situation, it's really difficult to remain calm, sure of yourself, and even
confident. Learn to "get a grip" if you have a job or if you don't.
In this session you will learn: Tips on what to do if you're employed, tips if
you're not. Discover self-limiting behaviors that could be immobilizing
you and ways to deal with them. Take charge and learn to work up a
personal plan to deal with uncertainty to give you the confidence to move
forward. Do something about it and use the power of networking as a
positive, proactive tool to move forward. “There is no security on this
