Managers and team members sharing control to manage life moves - for more information Australian Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong
“I love the challenges my job presents and I’m well paid for what I do. However, I often work such long hours that I have very little time for myself.” Today, as we often hear people lament over having no time for life outside of work, leaders strive to deal with work and life balance issues. Life is dynamic. We move to meet its demands, enjoy its pleasures and take up its opportunities. Life can ‘move’ us or we can choose to take control and direct the moves we make. We move to meet our particular wants and needs. Taking control of life is about exercising choice, and it is a skill. You learn the essentials, and build your techniques through practice. The PRIORITY ONE TRAINING Essentials to control your life moves are: Leadership
Values
Flexibility
Choices

Ask An Expert Q. What can I do to have more time with my family- more time for me? A. You are one of the many people who in today's frantic world struggle to balance work and life. Life out of balance will, if not today (at some time), demand your full attention. Work and life balance can be defined as the point at which you, the individual, have a lifestyle that is clearly aligned with your personal values, and meets your needs and expectations. Be guided by the PRIORITY ONE TRAINING 4 Point approach to 'GET the Balance' please make contact with us to gain the approach as set out in the article Australian Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong
THE BALANCING ACT A life that is out of balance, if not today, will at some time demand full attention. I liken it to an itch in the middle of your back. It can be eased in the short term by a quick scratch, but the irritation always comes back with double the discomfort; shifting position as it directs you in a writhing action to eliminate it. Balance is a fragile state and it is dynamic! It is not the same for everyone. You plan and focus to arrive at a balanced condition, and then you manage it. The PRIORITY ONE TRAINING approach to balance should help you get the desired balance in your life. please make contact with us to gain the approach as set out in the article Australian Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong

Get the Balance - Work/Life A 'work - life balance' is "the point at which you, the individual, have a lifestyle that meets your needs and expectations and is aligned clearly with your values....

You plan, prepare and focus to arrive at a 'balance' and then using your knowledge and skills you manage it!"

Women Business Owners Club Hong Kong Making a presentation, whether to your staff , your boss, your customers or a room full of 400 people can be a daunting task. As we listened to Sue Rooney and Ian Newgreen at our May meeting, it all sounded so easy and they seemed to be relaxed and enjoying themselves! Sue suggested it was essential to organise information into what you must cover, what you should cover and what you`ll squeeze in if time allows. Your opening must be strong. Avoid corny jokes unless you have a real talent for humour. Give your audience a "route map" so they know what to expect and where they should be at the end. Ian used a prop to gain attention and emphasized there importance of making a speech different and memorable. In place of a formal prepared presentation, he spoke eloquently and with passion about topics raised by the audience. He ensured that he covered topics of interest to the meeting, which illustrated the necessity of giving an audience what they want. The most important part of any presentation is the close, so always remain flexible with your content to ensure you have time for a dynamic conclusion. Although these speakers had contrasting presentation styles, their message was the same: identify your key message, adapt your content to fit your audience and time available, and always prepare a strong and memorable finish.

Australian Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong The highly interactive seminar began with participants creating an artistic masterpiece - working in groups, fun was had by all as dazzling pieces of artwork were completed all within four and a half minutes!

Discussion highlighted the benefits of managing performance through giving feedback resulting in:
Real workplace examples were instrumental in emphasising the central Participants took away five valuable tips for giving feedback:
Key message: The feedback that we give may be positive or negative however it should always be constructive.
Australian Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong Attendees at a recent the AustCham event were asked what personal improvements they wanted to make to their business presentations .... and the feedback was overwhelming:
Ian Newgreen, Director of PRIORITY ONE TRAINING, who conducted the highly interactive session, says that there are several key tips to consider in developing a presentation:
When preparing presentations or preparing to make the presentation, there are several things to keep in mind:
Aston Ryan & Malcolm Pty Ltd Financial Architects Australia the Why Feedback is a communication skill that is fundamental to how we see ourselves. It's that verbal and non-verbal information that we receive that lets us know what other people think and feel about our appearance, behaviors and performance. Delivered effectively feedback can build self-esteem and self-confidence, encouraging personal and professional growth; delivered poorly, or avoided, it can deflate the ego, promote negative behaviors and decrease levels of performance. the When In the workplace feedback is sometimes seen as 'something we have to do when performance appraisals come around'; feedback is often seen by management as a 'difficult task' and viewed apprehensively by staff. Feedback given on-going throughout the performance cycle, delivered in a timely manner and in supportive environment builds trusting and open relationships that break down the barriers that lead to feedback avoidance. Feedback should be given to confirm positive behaviors and recognize and reinforce successful performance; feedback should 'nip poor performance in the bud', encouraging and supporting development. the How Focus on specifics
Tailor the feedback
Be constructive
Allow the receiver to respond
Feedback can be positive, it can be negative however it should always be constructive.
