2. Realities Worth Facing
• According to a World Bank report, 2012, young
people aged 15-29 contribute to the largest
population (62%) of inactive people.
• Two-sided problem: Young people are out of work,
and employers are short of skilled employees
• Of the above 20-24 year-olds are the majority
(42%)
• You can’t just stand there and read the statistics
• There is a growing need for PERSONAL
PROFFESSIONAL SKILLS

4. You have to name it
before you can claim it
The indispensable
first step to getting
the things you want
out of life is this:
Clear personal
professional path
Losers let it happen.
Winners make it
happen
6. Call to Take Responsibility
Take responsibility for the circumstances of life
Seek to respond non defensively
Attempt to build mutual success – Win-win solutions
Seek solutions rather than blame
Use persuasion rather than force
Be firm, but not rigid, about personal interests
Think both short term and long term
Be interested in other points of view
Welcome feedback
Talk calmly and directly about difficult issues
Accept responsibility for consequences of actions
Communicate a caring attitude
Seek excellence rather than victory
7. O.J. Simpson is quoted to have said,
“The day you take complete
responsibility for yourself, the day
you stop making excuses, that’s the
day you start to the top.”
8. Unlock Your Imprisoned Potential
Most people use about 10% of their potential;
if they use as much as 25%, they are called
geniuses. If we can go from using 10% of our
potential to using 20% we could double our
productivity and still have 80% of our potential
untapped”
Where is my 90%?
12. Emotional Intelligence Module
• We've all met people who are academically
brilliant and yet are socially incompetent.
• Emotional intelligence helps you build
stronger relationships, succeed at work, and
achieve your career and personal goals.
• The ability to monitor one’s own and others
feelings and emotions, to distinguish among
them, and to use this information to guide
thinking and action.
14. Decision Making
It is puzzling how some people seem to take the
right turns in their lives while others seem to miss
it every time they make decisions.
