Self-Organizer

Every achievement-oriented person faces two problems in personal and professional life. Firstly, they never have enough time to accomplish what was planned, to rest and think. Secondly, they are always in the limelight, even if they are not well-known politicians or pop starts. Such people have to know how to cope with life in order not to "overextend" themselves. They have to learn to:

• Plan their time;
• Identify new time resources;
• Share one's work or delegate responsibilities;
• Learn to relax and rest during a limited time or find time for rest;
• Learn to make fast and effective decisions;
• Master the skill of self-presentation.

All these generalized tasks will be addressed at the "Self-Organizer" training. The program is divided into five parts:

How to learn to build plans using various methods (plan-picture, plan-structure, plan-drawing, plan-images)

Delegation of responsibilities or "sharing one's work"

• Trust and anxiety. Why is it difficult to share work? We will try to find an answer for your individual case. Analysis of situations: worst, best and average. Hidden stereotypes for each person. Excessive anxiety leads to lower trust and tags along the need for strict control.

• Pleasure (Harmony, feeling of fulfillment, panoramic overview, spontaneity). Criteria of pleasure. What is SUCCESS?

• Algorithm. A formula of effective delegating of responsibility.

• (Trust x Algorithm) + Pleasure = Success

Creating an algorithm of specific task.

1. An image of the task: what an employee thinks that he should do? Clarity of the task and "copyright" (mutual in an ideal case). An ability to listen to employees.

2. An algorithm of a task, of independence and self-reliance, of help.

3. What is an adequate control? Three points of control: when, what how much time and under whose supervision?

4. Step-by-step checking. "Hidden assistance" function. Benign control. Control plus and control minus. Verbal and non-verbal forms of control. Background of messages.

5. Checking accomplishments: praise – support – add. Formulate further tasks.

Role-playing:

There types of participants: subordinate, deputy (leads the discussion), boss (comments from time to time).

1. Formulate the task together. Thus, subordinate becomes co-author of the task.

2. Write a short memo. Signed memo. Control plus and control minus.

3. Step-by-step checking as a hidden assistance.

4. Repeat: formulate tasks for future.

Self-presentation.

• How to be different?
• How to be funny?
• How to be unpredictable?
• How to be charming?

• Formula of individual assertion: when to act bossy and when not to?

• Personal feelings in public situations.
• Beginning and focusing on the task.
• Audience awareness.
• Stepping out of the situation.

Relaxation and rest.

• Short rest. Rest: mood caused by previous experiences.

• Psychological hygiene.

• "Overburning syndrome" and ways to prevent it. Typical illness of a boss.

Decision making.

1. Creating an atmosphere.
   
   How to ask oneself a quesion. Time and ways of waiting for an answer (how to insulate oneself from daily turbulent activities?).
   
   Ways to visualize possible solutions.
   





2. Two brains inside us. Decision (complete and intuitive or logical and discrete). Optimal algorithm for each brain and their combinability.

Role-playing: "Creating a new business venture".

Working in threes: "kind and experienced", "risky and successful", "careful and scheming". The common law: absence of criticism.

• Brainstorm techniques.
• Body as a resource for decision making.
• Resource states in memory and imagination.
• How to learn by teaching others?
• How to perceive reality as friendly?

• Presuppositions and erroneous beliefs. How to be respectful of beliefs without turning them into addictions?
