Electronic project management is the way to go.  Now’s your chance to be more productive, to make your job easier and to streamline your project management process.

Once you know exactly what you’re supposed to be working on, you have to find the time to do it.  You have to structure your schedule very carefully to ensure you get the right things done.  If you don’t, other people will be perfectly happy to dictate your day for you.  You have to be willing to protect your time from everyone who wants a piece of it.  After all, time isn’t like money, office supplies, or Brussels sprouts: we’ve each got a very limited amount of it, and we’re not going to get any more.  You must fully commit to making the changes necessary to take control of your time.

• Scheduling 101
• Further Reducing Your Commitments
• Learn to Refuse Gracefully—and Make It Stick
• Rescuing Your Time from Meetings
• In the Decision Comes the Dilemma

What if you were what every company wanted? What if you were the perfect brand?

It’s crucial when you interview for job to be able to distinguish yourself from every other candidate.  Your part on the interview is to articulate why they should hire you. Who are they hiring? What is your character, track record, and reputation? What can they count on? Through a series of questions, they hope to get to know you. Bottom line, they hope you are the one.

This is an area where many people struggle. We first must learn how to relate to ourselves in a positive way. We first must learn how to deal with all the negative thoughts that are present in our “mental chatter”, clouding our ability to see our full value.

When you’re unclear and have difficulty talking about yourself, it’s actually uncomfortable, and you’re less likely to share yourself with others. You have a brand whether you’re aware of it or not. The brand called YOU is one of the most important parts of the whole job search process.

You will learn:

• To polish the diamond. (That diamond is you!)
• How to change the way you think about YOU
• How to boost your self-confidence
• Your “ME” file including accomplishments, strengths value statements and elevator pitch
• What relationships are absolutely necessary to drive you forward toward the fulfillment of your ultimate life

Join the uplifting conversation and walk away with the competitive edge!

Face facts: no interviews, no job offers. Knowing how to get yourself job interviews is critical to your financial survival and critical to your long-term career success.  But the whole job search game has changed. The old tactics don’t work anymore, everything you knew has changed.

You need a great resume and to know how to use it to get job interviews.  Martin Yate is probably the most knowledgeable person on earth to show you the most effective strategies and tactics for getting job interviews.

You’ll learn:

• How corporate recruitment works and what it means to you
• How to find every single job in your target geography
• Why “the industry doesn’t matter” attitude is costing you interviews
• Which jobs to pursue when you can pursue more than one
• How to leverage the job postings in job banks for maximum response
• How to leverage your resume postings in resume banks for maximum return
• How to find and work with headhunters
• How to organize your job search time for maximum results

It seems we’re all stressed at work today, but have you noticed that some people seem to handle it better?  They deal with emergencies and disasters without “losing it” or looking for someone to blame.  They can always see the positive even when it’s not obvious to everyone else.  And they always seem to be happy with their lives.

What’s the matter with these people — don’t they have any problems?  Yes, they do, but their high level of emotional intelligence lets them handle them without ruining their day or taking it out on those around them.

Would you like to be more like them? T hen you need to be at this webinar, “Emotional Intelligence At Work.”

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• What is emotional intelligence and how can you recognize it?
• The conflict within the brain:  impulse vs. rational thought
• The four “pillars” of EI
  • Interpersonal: awareness of others
  • Stress management: the EI approach
  • Affect: how you deal with life
• Practical application of EI for you in your job

Intellectual intelligence is one thing, but emotional intelligence is quite different.

The ability to be aware of, and manage, your own emotions while at the same time making allowance for other people’s emotions can truly change your life.  It can make the difference between a knee-jerk emotional reaction to whatever happens at work and a rational response that focuses on solutions.

This webinar will give you a set of tools to help you cope with everyday challenges not only at work but in all the areas of your life.

That’s why I’m very excited to announce the details for the first Success Builder Series of 2012:
