Plugged session #5 - Learning

Gain much insight on the topic of Learning as we discuss over it at Gardens Starbucks on a Tuesday Night my first session after much reminder Melvin told me as we met =)

Edward an Executive Director from PricewaterhouseCoopers took his time to have this discussion with us and shares his thoughts and stories.

Till the end of the day it really takes alot to be a Leader and be that 10% of the crowd to stand out so I'll be going next Tuesday (8 dec) same place at Gardens Starbucks @ 7.30pm
This event is by TalentEDge a very great session that Youths should come!

Manage Your Time More Effectively

I realised that nowadays I've been so busy and it really struck me that some Time Management article might help in some ways ...at least to remind me to learn the Art of Balancing.
Here is one from CPA Australia a newsletter I've received via Email.

Make your life more manageable by incorporating these tips into your life:

Prepare a schedule
By setting out your schedule in advance using a diary or a timetable, you can also see when you will have time to take a break, catch up with friends or do extra study. You may even find time to take on a voluntary position or work experience during your holidays.

Plan ahead
Once your schedule is in place, think about what you can do to make it more manageable.

Set short- and long-terms goals
Goals help you stay motivated and on track, particularly when it comes to study. Short-term goals, such as aiming to begin an assignment four weeks before its due, can help you reach long-term goals, such as improving your end-of-year marks.

Prioritise your tasks and commitments
If you find you have so many commitments that you can't keep up, it's time to start prioritising. Think about what commitments or tasks are important in reaching your goals and what is non-negotiable.

Stop and think before you say 'yes'
Do you have the time to take on any extra commitments? Answer this question honestly and you may save yourself any extra stress. Committing yourself to too many things and making promises you know you'll want to keep will only stress you more in the long run.

Presentation Tips

- Start with a quotation.

- Use pictures instead of bullet points and your message retention should increase. Research suggests that this could be by a factor of five.

- Involve the audience. & make eye contact.

- Live with the fear.

- Proper attire – clean and neat. Your audience will be looking at how your dressed.

- KISS method - Keep It Simple Stupid.

- Don't use PowerPoint sound effect - It may seem funny to have applause at the end of a slide, or a screeching sound for a new bullet point, but it will turn off the audience.

- Check out the room before your presentation - Make sure the room has everything that you need and make sure the presentation works on the screen.

- Don't drink the night before - and certainly don't get drunk.

Today, Well as I was busy promoting on G-floor for Youth Congress 09 the alarm went ON it was so loud and well every one thought it would be a False alarm and no one did anything till, on the 2nd & 6th floor students were *taking the lift* down and running out...(Taking the LIFT is what Majority did admitted by the Lecturer too...swt lol) but Nothing Serious. Thank goodness. Caused by some wires on 6th. And the day class was all cancel after confirmation that it's not safe to go back up hence, "Replacement class Again..." but all happy for now. My day just went unproductive as Lecture in main campus was juz a while as usual since class cancel that's all for today...
