Personal Effectiveness: Self Awareness and Balanced Thinking (Live Webinar)
Overview
Successful people have one thing in common – they learn by doing and by applying their experience to day to day activities. Through understanding themselves, their values and motivators, and by continuously examining their taken-for-granted assumptions, they are able to adapt and improve their communication and management styles, their approach to decision-making and relationships.
