Module 1 Reflection

The Business Acumen workshop is geared to help participants have a better understanding of the drivers of growth, profitability and cash flow; and to interpret a business’s financial statements and key performance metrics.

Learning agility is our ability to learn, adapt, unlearn, and relearn to keep up with constantly changing conditions. In this module we will cover self-awareness, work values, resilience, stress management, assertiveness, and self-confidence.

In this module, we will explore the various digital platforms, in the context of our industry. We will take a practical look at workplace social media platforms and hear from industry experts on industry specific technology platforms. We will look at how to align efforts, messages and social media presence to have a consistent authentic, and valuable personal brand.
