Navigating the Motivational Landscape: From Inception to Achievement

By |January 25th, 2024|Uncategorized|

Recent Posts Navigating the Motivational Landscape: From Inception to Achievement Every action, every achievement, every course of human endeavour, inevitably begins with a thought.  Between that moment of inception, and the often distant lands of a goal achieved, there is a whole lot of ground to cover.  It all begins with that crucial first step, but what is the link between thought and action?  What on Earth comes over us to convince us that traversing such turmoil on our path to achievement is really worth all the hassle?  Alright, it’s a bit of a loaded question when the title of the article has already announced what I’m on about, but it’s worth some consideration.  Why do we do things?  What pushes and urges us forward to achieve, to discover, to create?  There is, of course, some logic behind this.  Not every idea is acted upon, and [...]

Be Prepared For Emergencies Or Opportunities!

By |November 1st, 2023|Uncategorized|

Recent Posts Be prepared for emergencies or opportunities! Picture this: You’re in the middle of a bustling city square when a mime, yes, a mime, silently challenges you to a game of charades. The crowd gathers, excitement builds, and you think, "Why on earth did I skip that drama class in school?" Just like an impromptu mime showdown, life throws unexpected (and sometimes downright quirky) challenges our way. While we can't predict every mime or metaphorical curveball, what we can do is equip ourselves with a wide array of skills and knowledge to handle them with grace. I know the example we opened with is a bit on the abstract side, but we have heard our students give feedback time and time again, of real-world curveball moments which they’ve been able to readily adapt to through the training they received during their qualification. My personal favourite [...]

13 steps to setting Achievable Goals

By |December 14th, 2020|Uncategorized|

13 steps to Setting Achievable Goals Goal-setting has been described as ‘the inner technology of success’. It is one of the most important activities you can do. Unless taken seriously, this vital planning task will be futile, producing only a few high-sounding intentions that, for various reasons, are soon forgotten. So, if you want challenging and achievable goals, follow these 13 steps to Setting Achievable Goals... 1. Make sure your goals are realistic. A goal that aims too high, or offers a great deal of risk, with little chance of achievement, leads to frustration and surrender. It’s easy, for example, to say that a goal for the year is: ‘To increase production by 150%’ - but quite unrealistic with inadequate resources and uncommitted staff. 2. Keep your goals simple. If goals are complex, it is unlikely they will be clear and specific enough to focus effort and marshal the [...]

11 Ways to Achieving Success

By |December 14th, 2020|Uncategorized|

11 Ways to Achieving Success Achieving Success can be highly subjective. Seinfield’s Uncle Leo told everyone who’d listen just how successful he thought his son Jeffrey was. Uncle Leo’s assessment, however, did not meet with unanimous approval (Jeffrey was probably embarrassed, too). In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman defined ‘success’ as ‘talent + luck’ and ‘increased success’ as ‘a little more talent + a lot of luck’. One of the main criteria for success seems to be to have made it to the top in a particular field such as world chess champion, one of the world’s top-ranked tennis players, or the world’s greatest golfer. There are, therefore, some things (behaviors more than traits) that are considered essential – even for those of us with less lofty ambitions. Consider these. 1. Work at it. It’s a cliché, but there is some truth in it: the only place ‘success’ [...]

9 effective ways to ask for a pay rise

By |December 10th, 2020|Uncategorized|

9 effective ways to ask for a pay rise In some organisations, pay increases are tied automatically to levels and years of experience. In others, regular salary reviews are held with individual employees. Elsewhere, little will happen unless the employee takes the initiative. If you are in this position, and you want to remain with your existing employer, here are 9 effective ways to ask for a pay rise 1. Make sure you deserve it. Are you really earning the money you currently receive? Do you work hard at your job? Do you carry your own weight in the organisation? How valuable are you to the firm? The first requirement in gaining a raise is to be worth more than you’re earning now. 2. Keep tabs on your own performance. Constantly monitor your performance, particularly in those areas your superiors view as important. Work hard to meet your bottom [...]

13 ways to prepare yourself for a brilliant career Climbing the career ladder to success is not something to be left to chance. Unfortunately, there is no magic formula.

They would agree, however, that, if you are ambitious to reach the top, then the best person to help you get there is yourself. So here are 13 ways to prepare yourself for a brilliant career. 1. Be prepared. There are no better candidates for advancement than those who, while handling their own jobs in exemplary fashion, have also prepared themselves for the job above theirs.

The sharpening of management skills through continuing education is essential for [...]

How to accomplish more through the use of a personal achievement list

By |April 28th, 2020|Uncategorized|

Too often managers modestly, and often unjustly or even unwittingly, hide their successes from others - and indeed from themselves. They fail to understand that the simple strategy of recording personal successes can motivate, increase self-productivity, and support career advancement. The compilation of a personal achievement list can have a considerable effect on a manager's professional life... 1. Acknowledge your achievements to date. Most managers see themselves as 'modest achievers'. They're so accustomed to doing what they do and what is expected of them that they rarely, if ever, class any of their accomplishments as 'achievements'. Indeed, when people are impressed with something they've done - something that perhaps seems rather ordinary to them - they're surprised. As a manager, you can use your past achievements more positively to motivate you to greater heights. To shrug off those achievements modestly, as most professionals are prone to do, or to [...]

Setting priorities is a decision-making process by which you rank in order of importance the tasks you or your staff members must do. By completing the tasks on your list in order, you will achieve your goals. It sounds easy - but it's not. In fact, priority-setting and sticking to the agreement you make with yourself will be major challenges for you as a manager. Here are several important suggestions to help you draw up a priority list - and make it work... 1. Address management problems first. Give top priority to any problem on your list that is making you ineffective as a manager. If, for example, you have a personal conflict with your superior or your personal assistant, your effectiveness in dealing with other priorities could be seriously hampered. Face such problems immediately; get them out in the open; and devise solutions quickly. 2. Group your priorities meaningfully. [...]
