ADD ‘PEOPLE SKILLS’ TO YOUR TECHNICAL SKILLS PetroSkills Petroleum Professional Development courses provide the people skills to help you and your team maximize your capabilities. These courses are tailored specifically to the oil and gas industry, and are available worldwide.
ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS FOR TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS-OM23 Skillful and competent leadership is extremely important for safety, productivity, and asset management. The 21st century brings new em- phasis on leaders, new communication technologies, increased focus on safety, information overload, workforce dynamics, asset integrity, and many other concerns which challenge even the most proficient leader/manager. How do we blend these new challenges with tried and true wisdom of success? There are skills to learn to help you be more effective, with less stress. (See page 24.) ESSENTIAL TECHNICAL WRITING SKILLS-ETWS Writing for work-related purposes ought to be brief, clear, informative and, above all, readable. In this practical hands-on course, you gain a solid foundation in technical writing skills. The primary theme for the course is that a writer must think constantly about their readers. Examples and exercises provide hands-on experience. MAKING CHANGE HAPPEN: PEOPLE AND PROCESS-MCPP Attendees will work in teams to overcome the problems encountered when making changes in their organizations. You will learn how to develop the ability to effectively handle organizational changes by examining the eight-step change process and understanding your own, and others, needs and responses to each step. MANAGING AND LEADING OTHERS-MLO The first-line and mid-level supervisor has more direct effect on employees and the productivity of a work group than any other single enti- ty in the organization. This course increases the confidence and productivity of leaders, supervisors and managers who may be scientific or technical specialists, but have minimal training in the science and art of leading others. MEETING MANAGEMENT AND FACILITATION FOR THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY-MMF Meetings remain a boon or curse to corporate communication. Properly planned and managed, meetings are extremely positive and dy- namic ways to exchange ideas, shape policy, resolve problems, effect change, etc. However, when poorly designed and implemented, meet- ings become virtual breeding grounds for confusion, tension, frustration, boredom, and negativity. During this interactive 2-day session, participants will learn how to perfect meeting facilitation skills; master meeting agenda design skills; and polish meeting communication skills so that they’ll be able to run meetings efficiently, effectively, and smoothly. NEGOTIATION SKILLS FOR THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY-NSPI This course helps you to develop strong interpersonal skills in the art and science of negotiation. You will learn to apply these skills to complex organizational issues and individual needs. The course includes a Negotiating Style Profile self-assessment to determine your pre- ferred negotiation style(s). Various tools and techniques are used to negotiate differences and disagreements to produce positive results. A group workshop conducting a collaborative negotiation, allows attendees to engage in, comment on, and improve their competencies in negotiation skills. PRESENTATION SKILLS FOR THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY-PSPI One of the prime requisites for oil and gas professionals is to be able to deliver presentations in as clear, concise, and well-designed a way as possible. With the proper training and practice, any oil and gas professional can learn to make a convincing and persuasive presenta- tion, and do so in a confident, assured, comfortable, and relaxed manner. TEAM BUILDING FOR INTACT TEAMS-TB This workshop is most effective when attended by an entire team. Team members will develop and refine the skills essential for high per- formance teams. Emphasis is placed on learning more effective ways to enhance total team functionality and maximum team productivity. TEAM LEADERSHIP-TLS This course has been constructed to maximize opportunity to improve both knowledge and practical skills in leading a team and being a team player. Emphasis is placed on the leader’s role in effectively enhancing total team functionality and maximum team productivity.
