  required to support learning and skill
  development needs in the context of an
  organisation's goals and objectives.

Self-promotion as a Competency

• "The fear of self-promotion consists of all
  behavioural habits, thoughts, actions, or
  feelings, which conspire to keep competent people
  of all walks of life from being able to stand up
  and take credit for who they are and what they do
  well."
• George W. Dudley, behavioral scientist

Step 1 Analyse Your Strengths

• Build an assessment of your accomplishments
  during your career.
• Start by listing the problems or challenges
  you've encountered, then list the approaches you
  used to address them.
• Finish by listing the results of your efforts.

5
Step 1 Analyse Your Strengths

• Remember to include such things as efforts to
• increase productivity or efficiency,
• save money
• institute a new system or procedure
• identify new problems and offer solutions
• change the nature of your job
• undertake a project that was considered outside
  the scope of your job.
• All of these efforts show that you are more than
  just a "9 to 5 er."

Step 2 Know the Rules

• You shouldn't feel that "playing politics" is a
  requirement for building your self-promotion
  strategy. However, there are some rules that you
  need to observe.

7
Rule A

• Survival of the Fittest No matter where you
  work, you'll find that all organizational
  structures take on the shape of a pyramid.
• Whether you participate in this climb or not,
  there is a natural law that keeps human beings
  moving up the ladder.
• Recognize this survival tendency for what it is.

8
Rule B

• Your Peers Are Your Natural Allies As you work
  with your colleagues, you should also learn from
  them and share what you know with them. One sure
  way to get ahead or be recognized is to be a key
  part of a successful team.

9
Rule C

• There is Always a System Know How it Works. All
  organizations have a culture that, when followed,
  will lead to personal success. You have to know
  your organization's culture and understand how to
  use it.

10
Rule C

• In some companies, creativity is the most prized
  and rewarded attribute of an employee.
• In others, it might be an actual contribution to
  the "bottom line"
• No matter what your organization's culture, you
  must determine what priorities exist in the
  system and use them to your advantage.

11
Remember

• By preparing yourself properly for the chance to
  promote yourself when they come, or for those
  opportunities that are all around you in your
  working day, you will find that you can move
  forward aggressively.
• Understand your strengths and the system in which
  you work, and your efforts will be rewarded.

12
Assessment

• Produce a report that
• Analyses Your Strengths (as described in Step 1
  of this presentation)
• Describes your short-term career goals (over the
  next 1-2 years)
• Describes your long term career goals (over the
  next 5-10 years)
• How you plan to attain these goals
• Word length approx 500 words

13
The manner in which you experience life is often
more a reflection of yourself than what you come
across..
