Welcome
- A very warm welcome to this Being Proactive course. I'm Emma-Sue Prince, and I'm author of "Seven Skills for the Future." I'm an expert on the skills of adaptability, critical thinking, empathy, integrity, optimism, being proactive, and resilience. I run workshops and training sessions all over the world to raise awareness of these skills. These are skills that we all have and we can nurture and actively develop. Being proactive is one of the most powerful things you can develop for yourself. Being proactive in your life, both personally and professionally, is a skill that really helps you do so many things. And my aim with this course is to enable you to be and show up as the very best version of yourself in both your personal and professional life. What does it mean to be proactive? It's about moving yourself forward positively and progressing in both small and large goals. It's responding effectively to what's happening around you in the short term. It's focusing on what you can control rather than what you can't. And, when you're proactive, you're confident in taking the initiative, asking for and receiving feedback, building your strengths, and setting achievable goals. This course is divided into a number of different sections, each one designed to help you move forward and really get into the driving seat of your life. I'll be coaching you through all the strategies you need to achieve your goals. Ready? Let's go.
