<p>What do engineers and project managers need to know of finance? 'Nothing - leave it to the accountants!'</p><p>No, no, no! Engineers must be conversant with the terminology and statements that accountants use. Technical expertise in projects, service delivery, production or other areas can only really be harnessed if the managers understand the accounting and reporting that drives businesses.</p><p>This course gives the necessary understanding to project, production and technical managers. It develops their skills in understanding financial and management accounting.</p><p>Accountants may not always like it but a major part of their work is to be the 'servants of business' and to gather, compile and present your figures. So you must understand the figures - they belong to you, your processes or projects. There are many reasons for maintaining accurate accounts. This course focuses on the strategic issues (those over-used words) - what figures reveal about the drivers of business and what they reveal about the day-to-day issues that accountants bother you with. The course will enhance your understanding of finance and of the accounting issues which affect your projects, production and technical areas of business.</p>This course will help you:<ul><li>Understand the business world in figures - make sense of what the accountants are telling you</li><li>Appreciate what drives business - and how this affects your role in your part of the business</li><li>Relate your activities to the success of the business - through figures</li><li>Gain the skills to advance in management - financial awareness is a 'must have' if you are to progress in your career</li></ul><section>

Understand and mitigate your own personal drivers of conflict



Have you ever said 'They really push my buttons' or 'I can't stand it when people...'?
That's the sound of you being 'hooked'. We all have values that we want to live by, and when they are challenged, that's when we are most likely to engage in a conflict. 
In this online workshop, Gemma will teach you the conflict hooks model so that you can identify your common hooks and how to handle them to reduce or prevent conflict. 
What you will get from this 60-minute session:
Self-awareness of your conflict hooks
Empathy for what may hook others
Confidence to diplomatically speak about conflict with others
How we will do it:
Exploration of how conflict hooks show up in teams
Learning how core values are inherent to conflict hooks
Identifying your own conflict hooks
Practice articulating your conflict hooks to others
Tips for how to use your self awareness to reduce or prevent conflict
This online session is designed to be as interactive or passive as you wish. You are most welcome to ask questions, share challenges and discuss your ideas. You are equally welcome to join with your camera off and just listen in.
This session will be held on zoom – you will receive the meeting link once you book your place.
