Understanding Personal Strengths – Let’s Go To The Movies!

Our business lives demand so much of us. Which of our innate characteristics should we make use of? Our resilience, our courage, our empathy? Or something else? Just who do we think we are?

Although we can’t fundamentally change ourselves, we can understand ourselves better. And then we can use our personal strengths to succeed in our business lives.

In this engaging talk, Penny Goldsbrough shows how we each have a different balance of character strengths, and gives insight into those different strengths using one of her other passions – the movies.

Data With Soul – Telling Business Stories That Matter

When talking about our businesses, why do so many of us have difficulty unleashing the storyteller that we naturally are?

Telling stories about our business – the best way of letting people understand and remember what we do – is so hard if we don’t have a method, a way of telling stories which will be memorable.

After this presentation, you’ll have an easy to remember way of telling people about what you do – the fundamental step in building new business relationships.

And you’ll also learn how to get even more enjoyment out of the stories that other business people tell you.

Develop Your Resilience

How well do you cope with the inevitable changes and challenges in business? How resilient are you?

Think about the resilient people you know, and they’ll be the ones who are more successful than their peers.

Resilience is one of the character traits that we can develop, as long as we know how. Being resilient in our business lives is vital if we’re to work well with our colleagues, and feel positive about what we do.

We know how to be physically fit – correct diet and appropriate exercise. But we’re less sure of how to be psychologically fit. In this talk, Penny explains how to use positive emotions to nurture our ability to recover from stressful situations.

As impatient as you probably are for real results, Matthew shares the lessons and techniques of twenty years effective business networking.
