    COURSE DESCRIPTION
     
    “Playing small, hiding our potential, for fear of failing or even fear of succeeding in some cases, does disservice to both ourselves and our role. Work gives us an opportunity to stretch out towards our desired goals and many times actually reach them.” Brian Groves, Personal performance potential at work.

    Spotlighting personal performance while exploring aspects of potential, the course focuses on the human side of business, so often ignored in more traditional business courses, for the sake of understanding how we can live our potential in the world of work.

    Course objectives can be synthesized as follows:

    • Be aware of the positive, and profitable, impact ‘being human’ at work can bring;
    • Develop an understanding of the passion economy;
    • Examine aspects of business from a perspective of collaboration rather than competition;
    • Explore and enhance personal potential;
    • Prepare and present an example of one’s personal potential lived to the full.

    • Colleagues as family
    • Excellence of performance
    • Living one’s potential in the world of work
