Has your boss sent back some of your correspondence all marked up? Have you worked hard on a presentation, only to be greeted with blank stares, or worse, never been asked to do another?

Planning an Effective Business Meeting If you are in a business that has meetings, you know how much time is spent in them. A recent survey of 2000 business leaders indicated that managers spend over fifty percent of their time in meetings. That same study indicated that managers felt that about one third of those meetings were unproductive. This course will present you with information that will help you improve the quality of your meetings. It will help you develop strategies necessary for preparing effective business meetings, by carefully considering the importance of all the components of the meeting, including people, place, purpose, time, agenda, and atmosphere.

Effective Interfunctional Relationships The products or services your company offers require a cooperative effort to produce. But by nature, most companies are structured territorially. Every department head and manager has his or her own troops on call and a personal domain to defend. Protecting your turf may be instinctual, but it's also counterproductive. By not cooperating openly with other sections or departments, you not only interfere with their ability to accomplish their tasks, you undermine your own efforts as well. In this course you'll discover how you may be inadvertently sabotaging yourself when you let your territorial instincts guide your interactions. Once you understand how interfunctional relationships... http://www.powermycareer.com/e-learning/building-improved-work-relationships/ Tue, 20 Apr 2010 14:00:27 GMT Content Managers http://www.powermycareer.com/e-learning/professionalism-and-business-etiquette/ Price: $250 Add to Cart Professionalism and Business Etiquette includes the following courses.

In many corporations, middle management and the concept of seniority are being replaced by a flat organizational structure and intense competition. Such an environment makes the need for appropriate behavior especially crucial, particularly if you're looking to advance your career. How do you maintain your private space when you sit in one of a dozen cubicles? How should you address your peers and superiors, and what's the proper attire for today's corporate culture? In this course, you'll learn how to conduct yourself in the standard business environment with poise and confidence.

Working for Your Inner Boss: Personal Accountability Everyone who works must answer to an inner boss, a personal, internal voice that provides guidance on whether a job is worth doing and whether it is done well. Accepting personal accountability for your work means your inner boss sets demanding standards and that you're willing to commit to meeting those standards and answer for the results of your work. In this course, you'll learn how to listen to your own inner boss, how to identify your internal standards, how to create a plan to meet those standards, and how to apply your inner boss's guidance to gain more control over your work, your goals, and your future.

In addition to the brief description for each course, even more information can be found by clicking on the link. Preparing a Business Case Why put time and effort into preparing, writing, and presenting a business case for new projects? Why not just talk to the manager and get his approval for the project? The answers to these questions lie in the fact that organizational budgets for new projects are typically very tight and, as such, your project will be competing against other projects for funding. Without a written business case, your chances of persuading decision makers within your organization to implement your new project idea, instead of a competing project, stand little chance. This course prepares learners interested in the development of effective business cases.

Writing with Intention Whether you're preparing a brief e-mail response, a business letter, a performance review, a multi-page proposal, or a presentation to a prime customer, you know that having a job means having to write. But if you're not a trained writer, how do you begin? The writing process actually starts before you pick up a pen or place your fingers on a keyboard. It begins with defining what you are writing, for whom you are writing, why you are writing, and which writing approach to use. Writing with Intention addresses these defining matters, which you need to consider every time you sit down to write. The course includes lessons on how to link your writing to its purpose, how to modify your writing for different... http://www.powermycareer.com/e-learning/business-writing-essentials/ Tue, 20 Apr 2010 13:56:55 GMT Content Managers http://www.powermycareer.com/e-learning/conflict-in-the-workplace/ Price: $250 Add to Cart Conflict in the Workplace includes the following courses.

Perspectives on Conflict in the Workplace What is meant by the term conflict, and what are the general attitudes towards it in the workplace? In this course, three prevailing attitudes towards conflict are compared. These are that: --Conflict is always a bad thing --Conflict is always a good thing --A certain level of conflict is productive, but too much is undesirable. This last view informs the rest of the course, which goes on to describe how a healthy and productive level of conflict can be encouraged in an organization, promoting a win-win philosophy that improves performance. Of course, conflict cannot always be contained at this productive level, and often spills over into becoming destructive.

But maybe it’s been awhile, and things have changed. Maybe you’ve been so busy meeting your organization's objectives and helping others with their careers that you’ve neglected your own, even though it's time to consider moving on to another opportunity. As an executive accustomed to seeing the big picture, you know that a lot goes into a process as important as this. You know you need support to help with details in more than one area, and you also want to effectively manage your resources.

Yet, you're exploring this site for a reason. Everyone, whether at the peak or at the tail end of a career, has a question or two that they either can’t answer themselves, or aren’t sure who to ask. Life at the top can be lonely, and sometimes it's just an outside perspective that you might need to reinforce a difficult decision you're about to finalize. The career coaches at PowerMyCareer can help you answer those tough questions. PowerMyCareer coaches have experience in the real world. They are not just academicians with little or no exposure to working outside the ivy-covered walls. They are not counselors who have never managed anything or led anyone. When you talk with a PowerMyCareer coach, you're talking with someone who understands your world and what it takes to be successful.

But do you? At your level technical competence is usually a given. Your accomplishments will often speak for themselves, although presenting them effectively is still very important. A huge factor in your selection will be chemistry - the proverbial fit between you and the organization. So how do you prepare for that? How do you determine if the opportunity is right for you and right for the new organization? (It really does need to work for both.) Let us show you how! Unlike other services that take you through a quick role play and give you some superficial feedback, your PowerMyCareer coach will start with the basics. We teach you all the things you need to do before you even think about walking out the door.

Your next position will most likely be found through a retained search firm or through networking. Accessing the former is fairly straightforward, but the latter, at your level, is a skill which few executives possess. Do you know how to explore opportunities rather than look for jobs? Do you know how to present yourself to people and organizations that seemingly don’t even have a position for you? Do you know how to get in front of the real decision makers? PowerMyCareer coaches do, and we can show you how. You and others may be surprised at your struggle to make connections that are worthwhile in your search. While you may know tons of influential people in the business community, do you really know how to successfully approach them in situations like this?
