5 Post-Summit Workshop 17 March Strengthening Resilience and Emotional performance A recent report by CIPS members highlighted that four of the top five skills considered critical to procurement roles well directly relate to soft skills or emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is key to sustainable productivity and performance. For aspiring leaders in procurement, it is vital to possess a firm understanding of the benefits and importance of key emotional competencies such as resilience and emotional intelligence. Several studies have shown that Emotional Intelligence (EI) almost always separates successful, high performing individuals from the average employee. This interactive workshop goes beyond the technical skillset required and focuses on strengthening emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness through the development of resilience and the ability to work under pressure. This fun and interactive workshop will help delegates develop key strategies to maintain optimal mental health and wellbeing and develop a deeper understanding of the key emotional competencies. Practical techniques shared will assist participants with building higher levels of self-awareness and enhance their leadership ability. Strengthening Emotional Intelligence: Understanding how emotional intelligence affects your performance at work and mental health Recognising your emotions and keeping them from overwhelming you Identifying your response to stress and learning to rapidly reduce stress in the moment Enhancing Self-Awareness: Building insight into the thoughts and beliefs associated with our responses to pressure Developing the ability to adapt your behaviour to a style leading to improved performance Evaluating stress triggers and how they affect performance Building resilience: Techniques to work more productively and lead effectively under pressure Strategies to assist you in bouncing back from negative events and difficult periods Staying focused in the present from a strong base Achieve your maximum leadership potential: Cultivating a high performance mindset Leading with purpose and value Managing professional and personal set-backs effectively Expert Facilitator: Madeleine Shaw Senior Manager The Resilience Institute WORKSHOP SCHEDULE Registration Session One Morning Tea Session Two Lunch Session Three Afternoon Tea Session Four 4.30 Close of Workshop ABOUT THE EVENT The procurement function within an organisation plays a pivotal role in its success and this trend will increase moving forward. There is a lack of diversity however at this senior level where women occupy only a minority of the positions. As more women progress into senior executive roles in procurement, they will experience an increase in responsibilities and scope of tasks including contract management, project management and international relations. The Women in Leadership Summit 2016 will explore the opportunities and career progression for women in this evolving profession. The Summit will offer women with a foundation to share their practical advice and guidance on the vital skills required to progress and succeed in procurement roles. Delegates will be equipped with the strategies to strengthen their capabilities and navigate a path to success. Senior executives and professionals will share their inspiring stories and advice on how they progressed and the skills required to maximise leadership potential and effectiveness. The Summit will be a professional development experience and network opportunity not to be missed.
