Personal Development
As part of our e-learning platfrom, we focus here on your personal development… this means. blurb
Take a look at some of the featured courses below or browse all available courses here.
In this course, the focus is on looking after ourselves. This is something many conservationists can struggle to pay enough attention to, though if we do, it can have clear benefits – for ourselves, those we work with, and the work itself.
We hope at the end of this course you come away with a better understanding of the areas you need to pay better attention to, and some practical ideas to take on board to help reduce stress and improve your personal wellbeing.
Understand and mitigate unconscious biases that affect your work, whether it’s related to gender, age, race, or other factors.
Discover how to build a positive relationship with feedback, understand its significance, and overcome any apprehensions.
Understand the importance of learning from failure and improve your team culture in recognizing and exploring failure.
Have you ever been in a meeting with someone and you know the best way to proceed… and that it would be in their interests… but they aren’t convinced and you just…can’t…find…the… right…words…?
The power to persuade people can be an invaluable tool to support conservation work. For example, you might want to persuade a donor to fund your particular project, or influence a government minister to support important legislation to strengthen national conservation efforts.
If done successfully, the person who has been persuaded becomes motivated to act in the way you need. So the art of persuasion is not to force someone to do something, but to get them to want to do what you want.
