Testimonials
“I’m now more aware of the need to prioritise the day in case a crisis happens, and you need to switch focus”
“There are probably things that I do that I could delegate”
“I enjoyed learning about the Eisenhower matrix and Trello for planning”
“Going through the matrix has helped me have a different way of looking at my work day – it will help me from being overwhelmed when busy”
“I could delegate more but I’m a bit of a control freak”
“I think managing your time is a lot about self-awareness”
Goodman Fielder Participants
“Ever since I’ve had this training programme, there are quite a few different ways I talk to team members now.”
“What I have learned is to ask myself, ‘what is that other person’s [TetraMap] element and how can I deal with them in the best way.”
“Sometimes when I’m having a conversation with someone, I think to myself ‘is this the best leadership style I could be using right now?’ and I adjust my style.”
“I’m learning that using SMART planning is the best way to achieve goals. If you can be specific about what you want to make happen, it’s a much better way to achieve the overall goal rather than trying to do everything and not achieving much.”
“I’m becoming more strategic in my conversations. I ask myself, what is the outcome I want from this discussion and then I decide on how to approach it.”
NZHM Participants
“What I’ve taken to work from my classes so far is the learning styles and how people are different. I’ve included a screen in the warehouse now so I can use videos to support whatever I am saying in a meeting. Visuals help people understand better.”
“VARK tells me that maybe after training someone and checking all the boxes; we need to go demo it for them before they start the work.”
“A quote I found that relates to today very nicely is: never look down on someone unless you are helping them up.”
“Today I learned that if I am knocked down 7 times I need to get up 8 times. Keep on keeping on. That is very good advice.”
“I learned about how to be resilient at the workplace and how to deal with stress at work”
