- Finding the sweet spot for participants’ talents, where enthusiasm and distinctive strengths can be used in work opportunities
- Setting objectives for every activity
- Setting a personal long term vision, a set of medium and short term goals, and development priorities
- Time management: creating blocks of attention for important work, triaging urgent tasks
- Identifying and addressing destructive work habits, and deliberately bedding in good habits
- Establishing an informal team to advise, challenge & support
- Better communication: active listening and tangible language
- Managing upwards: clarifying vague delegation and managing expectations
