Without an active guidance system in operation for any of these conditions we could end up in uncharted waters. This session will provide an opportunity to interactively identify best practice when managing change. Facilitator: Julie Hogbin , Senior Trainer/Coach, LEVELheaded B) "Luggage not Baggage" " It was, she realised, an ugly bit of baggage that she'd carried here from her youth, and she'd been so damned busy hanging on to it that she'd failed to notice that the bags were empty ." (Kristin Hannah, 'Angel Falls') Why is it that we carry around the negative 'stuff' when it hampers our journey forward? Why are we so adept at focusing on the bad rather than the positive experiences? This interactive session will start you off on the road to dumping that negative baggage, and identifying the useful luggage that enhances your life. Learn to define your success by your terms, not those of other people. Facilitator: Lyndsay Rees-Jones, owner, Real-Time-Release 14.45 - 15.10 Tea & Networking 15.10 - 16.10 Parallel Session 2: C) "Pastures new.... Or out to Pasture? How to tackle the job market." When looking for a new opportunity or find yourself needing to find a new role it is essential to take stock of your career experiences and exploit your skills and competencies. Have you revisited your CV recently? Do you truly recognise your worth? If you don't then the employer will not. Time to assess your market potential. Facilitator: Sue Edgar, Recruitment Manager, Sue Hill Recruitment D) "Brand the "Beep" Out of Yourself": " Today, in the Age of the Individual, you have to be your own brand. For anyone who's interested in what it takes to stand out and prosper in the new world of work our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called You." (Tom Peters, 'The brand called You') Personal and professional development is often based on the concept of self-improvement; personal branding is about self-improvement and self-packaging. This interactive session will give you tips on understanding exactly who you are, what you're capable of and where you want to go. This will enable you to create an authentic personal brand for personal, professional and service development Facilitator: Kathy Ennis, owner/trainer, Envision Training 16.10 -16.30 Closing Remarks: Biddy Fisher , CILIP President Learning outcomes: Improved understanding of issues relevant to middle and senior professionals, including: * Awareness of what are the current issues specially relevant to middle and senior professionals, and improved confidence to tackle them * Clear understanding of the skills and attitudes required to demonstrate professionalism and stand out from the crowd in economically challenging circumstances * Greater understanding of the need to develop and model relevant skills in the current job market * Understanding of how different personalities perceive change (embracing change, resistance to change, etc.), and of issues related to best practice when managing change * Clear understanding of marketing techniques specially relevant to middle and senior professionals Seal of Recognition: The Career Development Group and the Personnel, Training and Education Group have been awarded the CILIP Seal of Recognition, which recognises high standards in the content and relevance of its training.
