How We Used The Skills for Success!
It seems like a million years ago when I think about it, a training course I attended with my then employer was to change the course of my professional and quite frankly, my personal life as well.
In 1997 / 1998 I was a part of a management team working for a small company with little resources – but had BIG ideas.
A Course For Change
The course was titled “Managing Change – Skills For Managers” — what it actually was, was and a powerful introduction to the tools, models and philosophical underpinnings of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP).
The skills and insights we discovered during this course transformed us as a group of managers, and it turn the fortunes of the company as it developed and became the largest of its kind in the UK.
How did we do this? – – We used the Skills for Success!
Skills for Success
The skills for success are a set of abilities that once mastered, really do enable both individuals and organisations to thrive.
Key success skills include:
- Excellent Communication Skills
- Having a High Level of Self-Awareness and Confidence
- Having a Coaching Leadership Mindset
- Being Outcome Focused
- Operating out of a Philosophy for Success
Once we worked as a team using the skills and being super outcomes focused, we grew, both individually and as an organisation.
The Power of Tools & Models To Create Change
The power of these tools and models to enable both personal and organisational change inspired me to leave my safe corporate job and start what became my life’s mission, the UK College of Personal Development.
So, how did I, someone with little academic qualifications start an independent College delivering high quality qualifications, both professional (AC / ANLP) and academic (ILM)?
The confidence and solid knowledge these skills gave us enabled us to work with and deliver in house Training and Coaching Programmes for some fantastic organisations? (https://ukcpd.co.uk/business-services/ )
You guessed it, I (and my amazing team) used the same Skills For Success!
