TOOLS FOR SUCCESS COURSE
I'M AN ORIGINAL CATCHPHRASE
JOB SEARCH SKILLS
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got”
Henry Ford
​
From identifying and developing those skills and qualities that are valued by employers, to discovering the hidden job market, this session will give you lots of tips and tricks to take your job searching skills to the next level
JOB SEARCH MINDSET
“What if the only thing that stands between you and your dreams are the excuses you have accepted as the truth?”
Anon
​
Looking for a job can be demoralising, and in today’s climate, it can be harder than ever. This session is an opportunity to look at your job search from a different perspective and break through some of the internal barriers and limiting beliefs that may be holding you back
COMMUNICATION AND LISTENING
“The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said”
Peter Drucker
​
Whether we know it or not, we are constantly conveying a message to those around us, through our words, body language and tone of voice, and this message has a direct impact on every aspect of our lives. It’s no surprise then that communication and listening are some of the most highly sought-after skills of today’s employers, yet are often neglected or seen as something that you either have or haven’t got. Come along and lift the lid on communication and listening skills - raise your self-awareness and learn what works and what doesn’t in the world of communication
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”
Maya Angelou
​
What is emotional intelligence, why is it increasingly important in today's workplace, and what can we do to increase our skills in this area?
INTERVIEW SKILLS
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity”
Lucius Annaeus Senaca
