The TLDG APPROACH
Learning the ‘how-to’ of employing SOFT / CORE SKILLS, supported by self-knowledge.
Target Audience: The private and the public lives of professional people wanting to get to know themselves better; to develop a better way to learn about others, and get along with them; and as a result lead a more peaceful, fulfilling personal/ work life.
Everyone knows the very basics that make up SOFT SKILLS.
As adults, our busy lives often block out our childhood training when soft skills such as saying, ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. It was drilled into us by parents or others responsible for us. As a result of this loss, we lose the patience or the motivation to be mindful of ourselves and others.
Employing SOFT SKILLS has become a lost art. Previously known as CORE SKILLS, they have come again to the fore and are on the agenda of trainers and corporates alike.
Not only employers require these skills to hold onto valuable employees, but overall, they are important attributes to display and are expected from Parliamentarians, Corporates, from Barristers to Baristas.
The TLDG APPROACH to PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF SOFT/ CORE SKILLS.
This opportunity for important Professional Development is particularly aimed at people who find that they or staff members are not moving on. Instead, they become ‘stuck’ in their careers / personal growth. This stalemate, once recognised, allows them the opportunity to move in a different more positive direction, on to receiving a more positive outcome from all their hard work and professional training.
These are the people who will be most attracted to the TLDG APPROACH training. They may be aware they need more training but do not know which course or are fearful of even starting the process.
They may have had difficulty gaining anything of real life-changing value from self-directed study. They may have found there is no opportunity for ‘downloading’, to find the answers to whatever it is that they identify as a ‘problem’. By ‘talking it over’ with a mindful listener, they can listen to what they think of themselves and finally arrive at the answer. TLDG provides personal mentoring in such a situation. Why not phone Patricia and talk it over. M. 0410318388. Talking F2F via Zoom is also an option.
The TLDG APPROACH is to provide coaching and mentoring.
The TLDG APPROACH gives time to explore options available in ways that allow application being made to past work combined with personal experience and skills to bring about desired change. A phone call can help in your decision-making. Consider all the options first before making a decision.
In other words, it’s not only the gaining of knowledge but identifying and applying a positive, practical application of soft skills to bring about change and value to the person, that makes the difference in future performance.
On the other hand, milestones signifying personal growth occur when each new difficult situation or learning experience encountered requires a different response – where it can be taken past the head-knowledge application to the heart-felt response stage. This can be bought about by simply applying learned SOFT/CORE SKILLS.
Acquiring head knowledge alone can make people ego-driven. It’s not talk but how do you do it and if you know how to instruct me how by what you do. In the workforce intelligent trained knowledge-based people who lack soft/core skills are unemployable. They do not know how to stand-under the learners in their team. They may be high-caliber trainers or overseers, but lack understanding.
But knowledge alone, passed on, does not necessarily generate a passion in the hearer to bring about clarity or change. Where no future vision ensues, the student becomes despondent. Hope of change is put on hold. Disappointment sets in. Despondent people remain stuck where they are. Over time disappointment hinders them, and procrastination can result.
JUST DO IT!
Procrastination: the thief of time.
Acquiring SOFT/CORE SKILLS requires more than knowledge. The knowledge gained has to be walked, not just talked.
The true meaning of TEACHER is not someone with head knowledge but life skills that can be passed on to those willing to hear and learn how to do it. Skilled people in this field have developed a certain DISCERNMENT; they are MINDFUL; They LIVE IN THE PRESENT. They have developed a finely tuned, listening ear.
The development of SOFT/CORE SKILLS supported by knowledge comes about when what has been learned has expanded the learner’s range of INTERPERSONAL SKILLS such as problem-solving and collaboration; team work, recognising their own and others unique leadership skills; the need for other’s input for the SUCCESSFUL COLLABORATION on a shared project, and so on.
Those people who have arrived at that place, where taking ownership for their own lack, have thoughtfully created the need in themselves to seek other team members input of additional skills and knowledge. For those with well-developed SOFT/CORE SKILLS, success will follow them in their career and personal life,
PRESCRIPTIVE OR DESCRIPTIVE
It has been said about certified training in Australia, it’s too prescriptive, that the ‘nature of training packages limits their ability to introduce new elements into training’. It’s also acknowledged that developing technical skills and knowledge relevant to disruptive technologies, without the equally important development of ‘generic’ or SOFT/CORE SKILLS, leads to a large percentage of people losing their place of employment.
SOFT/CORE SKILLS are essential for preparing workers to be flexible and to cope with the rapid changes in the future workplace as a result of disruptive technologies.
How is the TLDG APPROACH different?
It is not just another passive head-knowledge-dump of completing yet another certificate. Rather, this approach seeks to help the student to discover the gaps in the training they have already completed..
It delivers one-on-one personalised service FACE TO FACE OR ONLINE to the individual, team or group. It can also assist in finding the one certificate, say a Skill Set, coupled together with a newly developed set of SOFT SKILLS that can act as a stop-gap, to literally close the gap in getting ahead in their workplace.
The certified SOFT/ CORE SKILLS COURSES are delivered online and via ZOOM by Patricia and where required other knowledgeable mature skilled trainers, who, depending upon the candidates needs, can either work ONE-ON-ONE, IN TEAMS OR GROUPS.
The request may come down from the top, or it may be any number of individuals who see the need in their workplace. Indeed, its anyone, wanting to EXPLORE YOUR FULL POTENTIAL. Anyone wanting to CHANGE THE CULTURE of a less than enviable work environment. It may be wanting to GAIN PERSONAL DIRECTION to improve your future, or, at the very least, LEARN NEW WAYS OF UNDERSTANDING yourself or improve the way you work with others.
