Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Creative Thinking Skills [ARC30104]
Prerequisite: None
Lecturers: Sufina Abu Bakar, Shazreene Nurjanna
Final Project: Re-branding of a Daily Object
20% Individual + 20 % Group Work
Part A- Individual - (A4 booklet + New Packaging - Submission ONLY): Week 12
Part B- Group (Advertisement Video + Poster + Verbal Promotional Presentation): Week 17
Introduction
There is a lot of math and science in marketing, but just how important is creativity in marketing?
Regardless what you may believe, creativity still holds much emphasis in successful marketing. If you
look around the huge marketing arena of the Internet, you can see products and services illustrated in a
million different ways.
Nowadays companies believe that simply being listed at the top of a search engine result is all that
matters. It matters, a lot, but without giving people something to rave about once they find your
company or product, and converting them into customers, fans, or something other than a ten second
click, it is worthless. It is a great challenge; however the diligent application of the creative process and
thought would facilitate to come up with the best solution.
In this Final Project students are required to explore their creativity and critical thinking skills in basic
marketing for a basic daily object. More specifically in the area of rebranding, packaging, promoting and
advertising a boring daily object.
Objectives of Project
The objectives of this project:
To understand the modes of thinking commonly associated with critical thinking (left-brain),
creative thinking (right brain) as well as holistic (whole brain) thinking.
To implement divergent and convergent thinking methods in researching, developing and
presenting ideas and conclusions in the form of tangible statements.
Learning Outcomes of this Project
Upon successful completion of this subject, students will be able to demonstrate the following:
1. Recognize the characteristics of critical and creative thinking and their applications in students’
personal and working lives
2. Identify the importance of expressing personal opinions as part of academic development and the
systematic journey(s) taken to evolve these statements
