What’s all these about? 

Anxiety has always been around, but today it has reached extreme levels.  Learning how to manage change, reduce anxiety and increase the agility of our “emotional muscles” are becoming some of the most important EQ skills. One of the best ways to reduce anxiety and build confidence is taking initiative to achieve our goals. Goal setting is a fundamental tool for success. Most of the people don’t know neither how to set a goal nor how to achieve it. Another important issue is the way people give and receive feedback. Giving feedback in a positive way increases effectiveness. The main goal of giving feedback is to help people improve their skills and evolve. In the case of responding to feedback the key is active listening. In this way, people become able to evaluate the information as objectively as possible. This prosses gives strength and leads to the achievement of goals. The soft skills webinar is an opportunity for self-improvement that Katheti offers to its members. This is part of an ongoing effort to provide the right tools for anyone who seeks them. The “Life & Career” program consists of three parts: mentoring, coaching and career guidance.
