Playing to Strengths and Managing Weaknesses

NB  This workshop is for Postgraduate Students only.

Being Proactive, Productive and Self-Promoting

NB  This workshop is for Postgraduate Students only.

In being proactive, we often avoid "analysis paralysis".  However, we can strike a balance by weighing up when to "just do it" and how to measure the risk attached without procrastinating.  In this short workshop, you will learn to play the continuum of proactive versus reactive, learn techniques to harness your energy and resources to be "the very best you".
