Being Your Professional Best

We often hear how important it is to behave "professionally" in the workplace. If you want to get ahead, be taken seriously, and have your boss think of you as an asset to the team, professionally doing things is vital. 

But what exactly do employers mean by this term? Indeed, it is enough to do your job well and show up on time consistently. Or are there other things expected of you if you want to be considered professional? 

Acting like a professional means doing what it takes to make others think of you as reliable, respectful, and competent. This course examines three keys to help you do just that. 

Through self-assessment, action planning, insightful exercises, and interactive discussions, participants explore how personal accountability, setting practical goals, and engaging in lifelong learning help them be their best. 

Who Should Attend

All levels. Anyone who wants to grow and develop as a leader regardless of job title, role, or position within an organization.

  • Describe their areas of strength and development in personal accountability
  • Develop a plan to exercise personal accountability in a real life situation
  • Use the SMART tool to define and refine their own goals
  • Create a professional development plan

Budgeting Essentials

Overview:

Working without a well thought-out operating budget can be compared to playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Although a company might know the direction in which it wants or needs to go, without a budget it must simply feel around in the dark and hope it comes close to its target. Unfortunately, if a business uses this approach, it will eventually fall victim to cash flow problems that could result in its downfall. As many would agree, the budget process in any business can be challenging and time-consuming. However, for a business to survive long-term, it must have a clear view of its goals and its means of achieving those goals. A well-planned budget is just the tool to help steer your company in the right direction–your company will be able to make critical decisions based on current facts and reasonable forecasts.

Designed for:

Finance and non-finance professionals, functional managers, executives, and all individuals involved directly or indirectly with the budgetary planning and an organization’s control process

Expected Duration:

4 hours
