About the Course
Career and Power Skills
These skills are not unique to Catalyst Development. No matter what you call them, soft skills, power skills, leadership skills…these are critical to our success whether we are just starting our career or heading to retirement. These skills are important at work, at home, and in our volunteerism. These are also not skills that you just check a box, and you are done. To be successful they take intentional work and self-awareness.
Six Sessions:
Lead-Whether you have a title or not, everyone is a leader. This session focuses on the skills to being a stronger leader.
Engage-When we have effective communication, we are able to build stronger relationships, have kind and honest conversations, as well as more meaningful conversations.
Accept-This is so much bigger than inclusivity. When we create an environment of belonging, we create an organization where our employees can show up as their authentic true selves. They are not forced to fit in but can truly belong.
Develop-No matter the size of our organizations, we cannot do it alone. When we understand each other and different priorities, we can build stronger teams to be more effective and efficient. We learn grace and support.
Effective-Spinning lots of plates at work can distract us from the work we are doing. Being able to understand how we work and what is important to us allows us to be more successful.
Resilient-Even the perfect plans don’t always go the way we would like. Whether it is pivots, barriers or complete roadblocks, we have to learn to learn and grow from these opportunities.
Personal Skill Building-This is the work you do to grow and learn. Create a plan to continue the work. This is about true leadership development and not a session of learning. How will you keep growing?
