Course description
This Administration Skills Course is designed to help the Admin Assistant and others in various roles of Administration.
Introduction and Course Overview
You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what
will take place during the course. Students will also have an opportunity to identify their
personal learning objectives.
Personal Best, Professional Best
To begin, participants will discuss what affects a first impression and how they can improve the impression they give to others.
Putting Others at Ease
One part of making a good impression is to get so comfortable with who you are that you can forget about you and concentrate on the other person. During this session, participants will explore ways to do this.
Distorted Thinking
Participants will explore types of distorted thinking through a case study and large group discussion.
The Steps to Feeling Good
This session will give participants a three-step process to turn negative thinking or
emotions around.
Assertiveness
Assertiveness is a word we tend to use without really understanding what it means. This session will get participants thinking about what assertiveness is, using a lecturette, quiz, and group discussion.
Improving Your Assertiveness
Next, participants will explore how they can become more assertive in difficult
situations.
Communication Skills
Participants will discuss different forms of communication and barriers to each.
Asking and Listening
During this session, participants will learn about two key elements to verbal
communication: asking questions and listening.
Non-Verbal Messages
Next, participants will explore various types of non-verbal communication and their
possible interpretations.
Writing Skills
This session will look at how to improve written communications, including using the
four C’s, editing, and proofreading.
Getting Ahead
Two main components of getting ahead in the workplace are identifying what you want and helping others to get what they want. This session will look at both of those concepts.
Duration: One Day: 9am - 4:30pm
About the courses
The workshops are a fun & entertaining learning experience. We highlight skills throughout the course and provide practical information on solving current issues and situations. By applying the information personally to each of the participants we help provide real solutions for each individual.
The way we deliver
We discuss with participants what they would like to obtain from each course. This way the facilitator knows exactly what information will be useful to each individual. It also means each course is custom made to suit the individuals at the course and our participants can learn more at a quicker pace without covering material that may not be required. By learning from each other within the course the participants can take real skills back to the workplace.
This helps everyone make the most of the training. Here are some additional details on why many people choose a Paramount course.
