Ninety Days to Make an Impact!
In association with Women in Banking and Finance - 21st July 09
When you start a new job, research shows that your first eight months are the most critical. How you perform then marks your cards for the rest of your tenure. Make a positive impact straight away, and that perception will stay with your manager, team and peers. You will also feel more engaged and confident knowing what you need to do to achieve success.
We all know that it's important to dress right and be friendly to all we meet on the first day. But no one tells us what we can do to help ourselves get up to speedafter the induction and team welcome is over. When the enormity of your role and the learning becomes apparent, how do you move beyond that 'where do I start' feeling to knowing exactly what to do and how to do it?
In this workshop, Ros Toynbee shares with you a practical and easy to use tool to maximise your impact and the impression others have of you, whether you're in a new role, starting a new project or working with people for the first time.
You will learn how to:
- assess the challenges ahead and exceed others' expectations of you
- build productive working relationships with your manager, your team and others
- understand the new culture so that you understand how things work round here and when you introduce new ideas they're heard, not ignored
- speed up your learning on the job and stay focussed on the things that most matter to your manager
Just as importantly, you'll get insights into mistakes you've made in the past and discover how to prevent them happening again.
The focus will be on fun and interactivity. There'll be an opportunity to practice that important first conversation with your new manager and to get feedback on the impression you make. You'll also have three key actions to put into practice immediately.
Are you a manager who is taking on new people? Then this workshop's also for you. This tool can help you prepare their on-boarding process, and make them feel more welcome and supported to deliver from day 1.
