build relationships and personal confidence.

DECISION MAKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING
OVERVIEW
Decision making and problem solving are an important part of the capabilities of people in leadership,
management and professional roles. Decision making involves making a choice between alternative
courses of action in an effective way. Decision making should be rational and evidence based rather
than be based on purely emotional responses. Problem solving is required when something is not going
according to plan. Problem solving involves closing the gap between the problematic current state
and the desired outcome. The way to close or lessen the gap is the “solution” to the problem.
WHO IS THIS COURSE SUITABLE FOR?
Leaders, managers, professionals and anyone who wants improve their ability to make rational
decisions and solve problems.

NEGOTIATION SKILLS
OVERVIEW
Negotiation skills are what enable us to come to a mutual agreement whereby all parties involved feel
they have benefited from the outcome. Negotiations are commonplace in our everyday lives, not just
within the workplace. By learning how to negotiate we can contribute to the improvement of the status
quo and gain satisfaction from an agreement. Negotiation skills focus on the need to “give and take”
with the terms as we bargain to find a resolution. Communication and emotional intelligence skills play
a key part in dealing with the emotions that can arise during the negotiation process.
WHO IS THIS COURSE SUITABLE FOR?
This course is suitable for anyone who wishes to improve their ability to negotiate in a personal or
professional context.

STRESS MANAGEMENT
OVERVIEW
We often “stress” about the outcomes of things such as looming deadlines, quantity of difficulty of work
or expectations that we set for ourselves or others. There are many factors which are outside of our
control such as the passing of time, our limited capacity as individuals and the expectations of other
people- but what we can control is our response to these things. Managing stress involves setting
realistic expectations, putting in your best effort and being happy with the outcome regardless of
whether it met your initial expectations. This can have a positive impact on both emotional and physical
factors of stress. Managing your stress is a skill which can be used in both your personal and professional
lives.
WHO IS THIS COURSE SUITABLE FOR?
