Being Proactive: Taking Charge of your Personal and Professional Success (Video Course)

Description

90+ Minutes of Video Instruction

Being proactive helps you cultivate stronger self-awareness, actively build adaptability skills, and take initiative to successfully achieve your goals.

Overview

Being proactive is about moving yourself forward positively and progressing in both the small and large goals you want to achieve in your personal and professional life. It means you respond effectively to what is happening around you, choosing to focus on what you can control rather than on what you cannot.

When youre truly proactive, you are in the drivers seat of your life--both personally and professionally. You own every single decision you make and have stronger control over how you respond to change and setbacks. You are confident in taking the initiative, asking for and receiving feedback, building your strengths, and setting achievable goals.

In this course, Emma Sue Prince, author of 7 Skills for the Future and an expert in building the skill of being proactive, coaches you through simple and time-tested techniques for improving and perfecting your ability to prioritize, set the right goals and boost your energy levels.
