1 Day Motivational Conversation Workshop

Introduction
 
To have a motivational conversation you do not have to be a motivational speaker nor do you have to display the hyper energy of a 'go getter'. The motivational conversation is meant to help the individual you are talking to inspire themselves towards achievement.

The motivational conversation is a calm, caring and focused approach that can be used to counsel, coach, support and / or empower others.

This program will teach you the fundamentals of having a motivational conversation which you can apply in your work, with your family and in social settings. The ability to have a motivational conversation with someone who is facing a challenge gives an added dimension to your relationship and leadership abilities. It will help the other feel supported without feeling intruded upon. It is an interpersonal skill that will never become redundant.

You can also apply the motivational conversation to yourself to help yourself think positively through any challenge you might be facing.

'The Heart At Work' Mindset™
- Fuel your work with positive energy to increase work productively
 
Introduction
 
Do you find it hard to wake up and drag yourself to work every morning?

It could be that you have lost the heart at work. Perhaps your self-esteem has taken a beating. This problem can stem from the lack of a healthy working environment where people can thrive because they are appreciated. There is nothing better for a person than to rejoice in his work. So a need for the re-framing of your own self-esteem and re-awakening the soul at work is ideal to enjoy your work.
 
Course Objectives:
 
In the situation that you are now in, you could be feeling rather disappointed about happenings around you. This course will certainly show you how to be:

  • Appreciative towards top management who has supported and treated you well
  • Feeling good about yourself and your job - Choose your attitude
  • Add a personal signature to your work - Make their day
  • Motivating to self and people around you - Play to enjoy the fun at work
  • Patient while things are undergoing changes - Be there when needed
 
Course Outline:
 
In this course, we will take riding the bus journey as an illustration, so the topics are:

  1. You are the captain of your bus
  2. Your desire, vision, and focus move your bus in the right direction
  3. Fuel your ride with positive energy - throw negative energy out of the window
  4. Invite people on your bus and share your vision for the road ahead
  5. Don't waste your energy on those who don't get on your bus
  6. Post a sign that says "No energy vampires allowed on this bus!"
  7. Enthusiasm attracts more passengers and energizes them for the ride
  8. Love your passengers by giving them your time, listening, recognition, respect
    - Work to bring out the best in them by cultivating co-operation
  9. Drive with a powerful purpose
  10. Have fun and enjoy the ride!
 
Training Methodology:
 
A highly interactive adult-focused training course with plenty of hands-on workplace related discussion, case studies, role-plays, group activities, questions/feedback sessions.

Christina Kelly: How To Excel In Fashion Journalism

By Rebecca Mills


Anyone can attest to the importance of a journalism job. This person is responsible for writing engaging content, all the while upholding ethical standards associated with said job. Such logic can be applied to fashion as well, which I'm sure Christina Kelly and others can attest to. However, to receive a better understanding of how one can excel in fashion journalism, here are a few key points that you would be wise to take into account.

The first thing that you should do, in order to become a fashion journalist, is strive for the best possible education. Ideally, you're going to want to focus on a professional communications or English degree, since one of these will help you illustrate your skill in writing. Of course, fashion design will probably be a given, and it's possible that you'll gain more from this. Whatever the case may be, an education matters, and Christina Kelly can say the same.

You must also be able to network with others. Names like Christina Kelly can tell you that fashion is a broad industry, meaning that the connections you make along the way can have an impact later on in life. For example, someone you have spoken to at a floor show can gain a better understanding of your background, before potentially offering you a job later on. Even though this might be seen as a rare occurrence, stranger things have happened.

In order to truly make the most out of your potential fashion journalism career, be mindful of the stories you cover. Even though a popular story might be making headlines, see if there are less talked about stories you can touch upon first. Anyone who is involved in writing has their own unique voice; it's just a matter of exercising it to the utmost degree. One of the ways to do this is by focusing on particular stories, so don't be afraid to explore and find new material.

By following these rules, you'll find yourself becoming an effective fashion journalist. Your appreciation for clothing and style, in general, will become clear as you produce more pieces over the course of time. Even though you will have a passion for writing, this doesn't necessarily mean that it will translate well to the vast field of journalism. You must adhere to a certain code, and the points discussed earlier will ensure that you reach your goals.
