Plan for Personal Success Update

Venue: Monash University, Clayton Campus
Ambassadors will review their plans from the previous year and update them going forward.

Exploring Leadership

Time Management
Date: Monday 24th September 10am – 12pm
Venue: Monash University, Clayton Campus
Description
Leveraging the output of the OTM Plan for Personal Success program, the Ambassadors will learn about four Principles for effective Time Management.

2011 Ambassador Program Activities
Semester One Activities
|
An Introduction to Developing an Integrated Plan for Personal Success |
Senior Ambassadors will review their One Page Personal Plan and their Personal Vision Summary that they first created in 2010. The review will enable the Ambassadors to generate a new Personal Vision Summary for 2011. It is critical the Ambassadors bring along their plans from 2010 to gain benefit from this one hour session. New Ambassadors will be introduced to the core principles associated with the development of an integrated plan for personal success. An overview of the eight key elements of the plan will be provided with specific focus being on the values aspect of the Personal effectiveness and self awareness element and the Education and learning element, particularly as it integrates with the Career and employment element. As an introduction to this set of personal planning tools, the Ambassadors can expect to have a heightened awareness of the integrated nature of personal success, the importance about being honest in terms of a current self‐assessment, and the emergence of some key actions for success that they can focus upon for 2011. |
