How do you set expectations for your self and the team your are supervising so as to achieve organizational goals.
Take a few minutes and learn how this can be done
From the PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT I have learnt how to be a professional person with the body language, gesture, posture, language proficiency. So that I present myself as a professional one in front of other people in world.
Personality Development states growth in personal nature, character or persona, progress, make-up.
Personality is the sum total of our outer personality and inner qualities
An impressive personality wants everyone to outlive in this world.
Personality helps us to improve - Our versatility. It helps us to set an objective on the basis of who we are & what we have.
Personality should be developed because it’s helpful for every thing , specifically “The People Industry”
HOW TO CHOOSE A CAREER IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF EVERY ONES LIFE. YOU CHOOSE YOUR CAREER OR ELSE OTHERS WILL CHOOSE YOUR CAREER. OBSTACLES ARE PART OF LIFE.. TRY AND FACE IT INSTEAD OF AVOIDING IT... NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS YOU WILL GET SUCCESS IF YOU HAVE STRONG DETERMINATION AND DEDICATION TOWARDS YOUR CAREER.
This is a version of the presentation I used in one of my group coaching sessions for the developers at my workplace. I believe that speaking is more important that a SlidePoint, so this was used as a guide to present the topics. This is a good slidedeck for anyone who finds they've gotten complacent and are not sure they stand.
Knowing your strengths, weaknesses, vulnerabilities, thoughts, and feelings is a big step towards knowing who you really are.
Self-awareness is the key to preventing the emotional drama that guides your reactions to situations and other people.
Accountability can be taught and learned. Improving on my accountability is easier than I think. It all starts with the mindset. The Five Keys are No Fault Guilt or Blame, 100/0 Mindset, Self-empowerment, Result vs. Task and Clear Agreements

Sowing the Seeds of Prosperity: Solutions to the Youth Unemployment CrisisAnthony Williams
With nearly 300 million unemployed or inactive youth around the world, youth unemployment is a serious threat to global prosperity and well-being. The social and economic repercussions of prolonged youth unemployment range from to a loss aggregate demand in the form of slower growth and less job creation to heightened pressure on fragile social support systems and even increases in crime, violence and social unrest. While single-actor interventions have largely proven ineffective, global solution networks are drawing on the resources and competencies of diverse actors in society to create new pathways for skills development, entrepreneurship and policy creation that will underpin long-term solutions for youth employment.

Local workforce investment areas can be a city or a piece of a city, as in the case of Los Angeles, a
county or part of a county, with the major city serving as its own local area as in the case of Newark,
NJ and Essex County, NJ), multiple counties, or a single state (as in the case of New Hampshire).
Workforce Minimum board is 32 members (based on required members and keeping board membership
51% private sector). Board members appointed by “CLEO” entity.
CLEO holds purse strings
CLEO supposed to provide direction and insight for broader economic development goals
Develop plans, selects providers, oversee service delivery, negotiate performance measures, and assist
the governor with the development of a statewide employment statistics system. (requirement outlined in
WIA Title III, the Wagner‐Peyser Act).
Two functions different than state WIB:
1. “employer linkages,” coordinating WIA‐funded activities with economic development
strategies
2. “connecting, brokering, and coaching,” promoting the participation of private employers in
the public workforce system.

Title V
28. #EDbridgeWD
• Too Little funding: 1979 peak funding. In real dollars, funding has
dropped by 70 %! (12% drop between 2000-2007)
• Shift away from Developing Human capital: emphasis on
“work first” …with training as a last resort…over time has caused deterioration
of workforce skills in the marketplace at a time when even more skills are
needed due to burgeoning technologies
• Smaller share of low-skilled, low income and youth being
provided training
Major Problems with WIA
29. #EDbridgeWD
• Not coordinated with economic development
• Social service mentality, not proactive in supporting business
• Grant driven…chasing dollars. Change strategies with new funding opportunities.
• Lack alignment (local, regional, state, federal) of strategic planning priorities
• Changing priorities with new administrations
• Boards too big and ineffective
• Silos of service – not leveraging resources and collaborating as needed
• Training that does not result in employment
• Reactive not proactive (too tied up with red tape)
• Best practices not widely shared, little to no training for WIBs other than legislation rules
• Not supportive of entrepreneurship
• Civil servants not “motivated”
• Need more OJT and apprenticeship
Other Problems with WIA

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA funds): attempt to put people back to work and save
jobs
Comparison to WPA program:
WPA program – $210 billion (in today’s dollars) and 8 million people employed
Population in US is 2.5 times the size of population in 1938, therefore, equivalent investment to WPA program
would have been about $525 billion (ARRA cost $831 billion)
6.8 million jobs created during two years of the ARRA program (2010-2012)
Economic Policy Institute (2012): “ (To create a sustained recovery) - Guaranteeing a return to full employment by
the end of 2015 would require policymakers to fund economic stimulus somewhere in the range of $1.5 trillion
to $2.2 trillion over the next three years.”
Why is ARRA seen as a failure and WPA seen as huge success?
WPA – large demand for labor in 1942 for WWII activities
Survey of businesses that received ARRA grants/contracts:
• Only 23% of 8,381 companies surveyed who hired new workers to complete their stimulus project, kept all of
them once the project was done.
• More than seven out of 10 companies did not hire workers at all or had to lay off the workers they did hire.
