Personal Skills Development

Effective communication, collaboration, leadership, and influence are vital to the impact of individual contributions and the visibility of our profession. Career planning can add valuable insights on how to improve, change, or advance in our careers.

Communication: Speaking, presenting, consulting, listening, and writing
Collaboration: Creating value for colleagues and clients, teamwork, and understanding research/business goals and how your work contributes to achieving them
Career Planning: Finding a challenging and rewarding position, goal setting, career advancement, negotiation, and strategic planning
Leadership: Influence, conflict resolution, and creative problem solving

The list of Personal Skills Development Workshops along with descriptions can be found in the JSM online program.
