Personal Productivity Skills

Application deadline: January 25

Personal productivity skills begin with a positive attitude and good work habits, such as punctuality, dependability, efficiency and consistency. Other positive work “habits” include the ability to determine goals and set priorities. Being able to make decisions based on facts requires organizational skills such as scheduling, budgeting, arranging, adjusting, and delegating. This course was designed to respond to the need for continued personal development. Tasks no longer remain static and neither can civil society practitioners. Civil society practitioners must be able to keep up, which means they will need on-going training and skill development. This course will also provide additional personal management skills including coping with deadlines, following directions, adaptability and flexibility.

• Define the key concepts associated with personal productivity.
