Successful and Authentic Self Presentation

Trainer: Elisabeth Schick

Course description:
Being good is not good enough. You also need to make sure that other people know that you are good. You only will get praise, appreciation and promotion if your environment and your boss know about your work, your efforts and your success stories. Therefore you need a convincing, successful but also authentic self presentation. Convincing and authentic self presentations requires first some analysis, e.g.: what are your strengths, where do you show outstanding know how and capabilities, what values do you stand for. Then based on this analysis you can start to develop an authentic self presentation which you will feel comfortable with. We will discuss the most important rules for successful self presentation, how to avoid negative self presentation, how to make a good impression and how to make sure that your success and your efforts are seen by your boss and environment. We will also discuss what you can do if somebody attacks you verbally or has stolen your ideas or your merits. We will train how you can best present yourself in a professional environment if you meet a person the first time. And we will practice how you can convincingly do a presentation and what to do in critical presentation situations.
To make one thing clear: Without good work even the best self presentation will quickly be identified as just hot air without any substance. But without good self presentation you might be just like an uncut diamond. Good self presentation is like cutting a diamond so that everybody can see how brilliant you are.
