Leaders of successful sales organizations focus on strategic planning, intentional hiring, and effective coaching. They build a solid and well-defined sales framework that undergirds their sales team’s efforts. They prioritize hiring people who have the right skills, energy, and outlook. And they develop work environments that are highly structured, purposefully challenging, and appropriately supportive. When sales leaders achieve a good balance of these three factors, the sales process is streamlined, organized, and successful. 

• Build a strategic framework   

• Hire qualified salespeople  

• Coach your team members

"“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” 

-George Bernard Shaw 

Thanks to technology, we now have numerous ways to communicate with one another. Organizations depend on social media, texting, and tweeting in addition to emails to present themselves to all the stakeholders. These rapid-fire methods of communicating have changed how we speak, how we receive information, and how we interpret the information we’ve received. Sometimes, these speed-of-light methods of connecting can affect our communication skills. Have you ever wondered if the receiver received your communication correctly or not? Do you evaluate the messages you send? This course will help you with tricks to communicate effectively using electronic media.

• Judge whether your message is essential and timely 

• Draft short messages 

• Use tools and white spaces for flawless messages 

• Convey the gist of the message in the subject line 

• Make decisions on when to not send emails and when to reply promptly

This course is taken externally on the Astutis platform, the delegate will receive a separate email from the provider with access details once this is processed by Astutis.

The enrolment will then be marked complete in Trainingportal once the course is passed.

With COVID-19 meaning that home working is no longer an option but a necessity for many, what are the potential side effects on our health and work performance. Employers may need to provide additional training to ensure appropriate supervision and work behaviours. These include remote technology, communication skills development, time management and ergonomics.

Effective remote working requires greater self-control and discipline to avoid the boundaries between work and personal life becoming blurred. Research has shown that, in general, homeworkers tend to work longer than office workers and this increases with the use of technology. Homeworkers do benefit from greater working time autonomy, but how effectively this is applied depends on the discipline of the individual.

The ‘Effective Remote Working’ bundle includes 3 months access to 10 online courses and over 7 hours of eLearning.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of the course the participants should:

• Have acquired knowledge of the latest rules and regulations
• Have acquired knowledge of the latest developments within sensors and Position Reference Systems (PRS)
• Have acquired knowledge of the latest relevant DP incidents and why they occurred
• Be able to recognize the various alarm, warning and information messages
• Carry out operational planning, risk assessment and hazard identification tasks
• Set up the DP system for a particular task/ operation
• Decide on courses of action because of system failure

CONTENT

The course is conducted as classroom training, combining theoretical presentation (Show-and Tell Lessons) and practical work/discussion with exercises in simulator and guidance (Stair-Step learning design). For practical capabilities and skills, exercises are performed in full equipped DP simulator. This course will fulfil the revalidation learning objectives as specified by Nautical institute.

SPECIAL INFORMATION

At present (2016), the requiremets is that the holder of a Nautical Institute (NI) DPO certificate must revalidate their DPO certificates.

The requirement is that the DPO must have at least 150 days of DP sea time experience in the previous 5 years, if not NI DPO Revalidation course is needed.

CERTIFICATE

A certificate acceditated by the Nautical Institute will be issued on succcessful completion of the course.

Leaders face conflict situations regularly as they manage team members, departmental issues, and organizational challenges. While there are core principles for solving these problems, they can’t all be solved using one strategy. Personality conflict between co-workers requires one approach, while an interdepartmental conflict requires another. In this lesson, we’ll look at several incidents and discuss how to resolve them. We’ll also suggest other strategies you can employ to address and minimize conflict in your workplace.

• Manage small group conflict   

• Manage large group conflict   

• Identify more strategies, tools, and thoughts on managing conflict
