1 - Read the entire notes manual in advance and highlight the
key concepts. You will get an understanding of the essential background
information that may be assumed in the lecturing. 2 - Ask your colleagues, partners and peers what they expect you to get out of the seminar and what skills they expect you to improve upon. 3 - Ask yourself what you want from the seminar. How can the seminar help you in your career and your personal life? Turn your list of “wants” into a list of “goals and objectives”. 4 - Write the questions you want to ask at the seminar. 5 - Expect a lot to learn, to have fun, to be engrossed and to meet interesting people. You will get what you expect. |
6 - Network and meet new people. Develop a relationship with those
who show a special interest in the topic. 7 - Ask questions and make your views known as those who participate learn more. Admirers of your ideas may become useful contacts. 8 - Make lots of notes so that your notes manual is useful in the future. Research shows those who take notes retain more of what they hear. 9 - Expect results only if you go to the seminar with an open mind and a positive attitude. When you enter a large shop, not everything can be of interest; the same analogy applies to attending an upgrade seminar. 10 - Implement your conclusions and discoveries as soon as you can to improve your work, your personality and your firm’s profitability. |

When
you are planning Continuing Professional Education (CPE): - seminars in-house for staff - retreat for partners - conference for your group, association or society, you will naturally want to make it educational, informative and enjoyable. • Theories from the text books are fine but how are they to be applied for success in the real life professional world? Many seminars and conferences can be long on concept and short on implementation. Participants are often left wondering “So what should I do with this?” or “How will that pay my bills?” • Jaffer Manek has been a general practitioner for over 20 years. Over the past dozen years, he organises post qualification training for finance professionals. So he: - proceeds to the heart of the matter - presents in an engaging manner - deals with the changes in work techniques in a fast moving world - adopts a cost-effective work approach - discusses the practicalities with case studies where appropriate - shows how the professional can improve profitability.
