Chances are you have participated in a project at your organization at some point in your career whether you realize it or not.  So what exactly is Project Management and how does it help get work done?

Project Management is the application of knowledge, skills and techniques to execute projects effectively and efficiently. It’s a strategic competency for organizations, enabling them to tie project results to business goals — and thus, better compete in their markets.

Empathy helps us understand and connect with one other emotionally.  It allows us to see another perspective, find common ground, and build social bonds.  This short video by Brene Brown does a good job on describing empathy. Without empathy, we may struggle to relate to those who are different from us, leading to biases we are unable to see.  This can impact relationships both personally and professionally.  Lack of empathy may contribute to an environment where individuals feel isolated, misunderstood, or unsupported.   Empathy is a cornerstone for emotional well being and it is a critical skill in today’s society.   

In the corporate world, the terms diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) have become common. They are often used in meetings, seminars, and mission statements, but the real challenge lies in moving beyond buzzwords and addressing the fatigue that can accompany these concepts. To truly foster a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and belonging culture, organizations and individuals must go beyond the surface and actively engage in meaningful actions and discussions.

EQ, simply defined, is the ability to recognize, manage, and apply the power of our emotions. In our EQ workshop at Being Your Best, we use TTI’s  Emotional Quotient assessment which divides EQ into five categories:  self-awareness, self- regulation, social awareness, social regulation, and motivation. These measure our ability to recognize how our emotions impact our own moods, clarity, and how our emotions impact others.  It also measures our internal drive to reach our goals. The good news is, EQ is like a muscle, and we can work to grow it!  When we are aware of our challenges, we can learn how to become stronger in those areas.

STRESS. We all have it. Sometimes it comes in the form of the washer breaking the same week your car gets a flat tire and your gas bill doubled. Other times, it’s the really heavy stuff like serious illness, loss of a loved one, or any unexpected tragedy. But it’s how we make it through to the other side of those situations that matters. How we adapt, recover from adversity, and learn from difficult experiences is what determines how resilient we are.

In the workplace, resiliency is often a skill that is critical to job roles. Resilient employees are better equipped to handle change and maintain performance when faced with challenges. Resilient leaders have the ability to guide their teams through uncertainty while inspiring confidence.

Job benchmarking is a crucial tool for defining the soft skills, behaviors, and motivators ideal for a job role.  At Moser Learning and Development, we partner with TTI Success Insights to bring you researched-backed assessments for the best results.  The job benchmark process we use is designed to focus on everything the resume may not.  During phone screens and interviews, companies are typically focused on a candidate’s technical skills, previous job experience, projects, or education. Of course, those are all important pieces to take into account during the hiring process.  However, it’s often, the soft skills, behaviors, and motivators that lead to an employee’s fulfillment and success in their job role. Which in turn, contributes to the company’s overall success!

LMS reporting is a feature within a Learning Management System that collects, analyzes, and presents data on learner activity, course performance, and overall training progress. This data provides valuable insights into how employees engage with courses, identify areas of strength and weakness, and ultimately measure the effectiveness of your training.
