ASSERTIVE COMMUNICATION – EXGEN 5422 Assertiveness is not something you are born with; it is a combination of skills that can be learned. In this workshop, we will identify when and why it is difficult to be assertive.

You will learn concrete assertive communication skills that you can apply at work and in your personal life.

You will learn the basics of accounting, such as putting together accounting statements for simple organizations and understanding both the composition and details of accounting statements.

BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS AND NETWORKING SAVVY – EXGEN 5430 Being able to present yourself with confidence in business and social situations is a necessary and valuable skill. In addition to your training and expertise, your workplace success depends on your soft skills, your ability to get along with others, work in teams and present yourself to your best advantage. Knowing and practicing acceptable workplace behaviour can make the difference between forging ahead and lagging behind. Strong business etiquette and networking practices reflect favourably on you and your organization. It is more than good manners. It is how we relate to others in a sincere and unaffected way; strengthening relationships and easing difficulties.

CHANGE LEADERSHIP – EXLDR 5623 Knowing how to initiate, lead, and manage successful change initiatives is valuable for leaders at all levels.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT: THE PEOPLE SIDE – EXCPE 5440

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT – EXGEN 5356

Courageous people are called change leaders. They lead the way through the crisis and discomfort of change. To be an effective change leader, we must be aware of our own needs as well as those of the people we lead. We must act quickly, manage anxiety and resistance, share decision-making and communicate with transparency, all while leading others. This course examines topics such as reactions to change, change management styles, building support networks, and personal strategies for crisis management. This course is part of the Change Management Workshop Series.

COACHING FOR SUCCESS – EXGEN 5410 Once good personnel have been recruited, their development and ongoing contribution to organizational success depends on the quality of the coaching they receive. At a time when employee performance and is of utmost importance, the coaching factor should not be left to chance. Successful coaches draw on both professional development skills and performance management skills. They assist employees to better understand the expectations of the organization and how they can positively impact their own career development within the organization through continuous learning and performance management.

COMMUNICATING UP, DOWN, AND ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION – EXGEN 5429 Learn practical skills and strategies for communication throughout your organization. Through learning to analyze your audience, targeting your message, adapting your messages to how others communicate, and shaping responses using indirect and direct approaches, you will create new opportunities to express your ideas to individuals at all levels of your organization.

Conflict is an inevitable part of daily living. We encounter it in both our business and personal/ social affairs. When mismanaged, conflict can be destructive and disruptive. If properly addressed, it can be an opportunity for creativity and problem solving. Learn how to recognize the potential in conflict, get it into the open and establish a climate where both parties can negotiate a successful, win-win outcome.

FINANCE FOR NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS – EXGEN 5360 All supervisors, managers, and other professionals are challenged with the task to review and analyze financial statements and data. In many organizations, increased focus is placed on budgets and financial management techniques.

This seminar will introduce basic financial concepts to participants whose primary role is in other functional areas.

You will gain an understanding of how financial statements are prepared and how to interpret financial statements and data in order to make prudent financial decisions.

GMAT PREPARATION – EXGEN 5419 Improve your chances of gaining admission to the MBA program of your choice with a comprehensive course covering each area of this challenging exam: mathematics, reading comprehension, grammar, critical reasoning, and essay writing.

INFLUENCING DIFFICULT PEOPLE – EXGEN 5364

COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES – EXGEN 5424 Communication can effectively make or break many business interactions. Regardless of technical ability or company knowledge, successful professionals require strong communication skills to connect with others within and outside the organization. In this workshop you will begin to understand the intricacies and challenges of communication, recognize and overcome barriers, discuss effective listening, learn to read non-verbal cues and adapt to different communication styles, and successfully give and receive feedback.

Difficult people have learned that their approaches help them get their way. It seems that a small number of difficult people cause most of the stress in our lives, robbing us of our productivity and satisfaction. Our usual responses only seem to make it worse. In this interactive workshop, you will learn to recognize the patterns some people use to develop the skills and responses needed to deal with these patterns more effectively and productively. Short-term tactics necessary to preserve your sanity and your priorities will be practiced, as will long-term strategies to create cooperation and more productive relationships. You will develop a personal action plan to build and sustain your influence in difficult situations and in life in general.

BUSINESS SEMINARS

IMPLEMENTING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EQ) AT WORK – EXGEN 5406 Have you ever wondered why some people succeed while others, equally intelligent, fail? Or, why some people seem to have so much empathy and self-awareness while others bumble along in an interpersonal ‘fog’? What is emotional intelligence and why does it matter? EQ styles play a very important role in daily workplace interactions such as learning how to respond to criticism, how to deal with diversity, understanding the need for tolerance with certain behaviors or situations or how to motivate ourselves and others. According to many experts, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) may be more important than IQ in determining success, both on the job and in personal life.

MENTAL TOUGHNESS: TRAINING FOR SUCCESS – EXGEN 5372 It has become common knowledge that highly successful people are different in their thinking and behavior than other people. But what are the unseen, often unknown mental toughness practices of these individuals? Mental toughness is a set of practices that enables you to master yourself mentally and emotionally. This seminar has one main objective: to teach you how to become your own success coach so you can get the results you want in your job and your life. Specifically, it will teach you the practices of mental toughness so you can overcome fear, take action, and create confidence for yourself in the face of any challenge.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT ESSENTIALS – EXCPE 5427 Project Management is a skill sought by employers in both the private and public sector and is in high demand.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT: RISK AND RESOURCING – EXCPE 5443 Risk management and resource planning (maybe remove the phrase “in project management”) are key elements in the successful completion of a project.

Using an applicable case study, the concepts learned in the classroom can be immediately applied to your real-life project. This course is part of the Project Management Workshop Series.

STRATEGIC PLANNING – EXGEN 5428 Strategy is more important than ever before in our highly competitive world. Whether a high-tech software organization, a health care organization, a governmentfunded non-profit company, or a publicly traded multi– national conglomerate, strategy is key to setting the plan to be successful. Strategic planning allows an organization to set up a plan to achieve its objectives. Developing strategies often requires individuals to think creatively.

Since then, the National Advanced Certificate in Local Authority Administration (NACLAA) programs have evolved to their current form, with two distinct certificates.

NACLAA Level I and NACLAA Level II are awardwinning programs that are open to students from across Canada. Our courses are developed and delivered by academics and practitioners from all corners of the country who are experts in their field.

NACLAA programs focus on the concepts, structures, and processes that define local government administration. They identify and analyze community issues relevant to Canadian municipalities, and foster students’ development of the theoretical and practical knowledge that are essential for success working in local authority administration.
