AuxTipsTM Quick tips you can start implementing immediately.
Take Charge of Your Professional Development Organizational support for employee development ranges from non-existent, to ad-hoc, to structured but not well-funded, to well-structured and well-funded (if you're lucky). Regardless of the level of organizational support, all individuals should have a professional development plan that:
a) identifies current strengths and areas for improvement b) defines how to develop in areas for improvement c) sets a timeline for completion for each professional development activity
If you don't already have a comprehensive professional development plan, don't wait for your manager to do this for you!
Practical
Emotional Intelligence
But from a management practitioner’s viewpoint, the Emotional Intelligence challenge is this:
Linking EI capabilities to the work at hand is the focus of our class, Emotional Intelligence: A Guide for Project Managers. The class bridges the gap between knowing what EI is and knowing how to develop and use one’s own, as well as how to help develop it in others. Want practical, proven techniques to apply specific EI characteristics to projects? This class is loaded with them.
Taught by an instructor with 25 years of
corporate IT management experience who’s done considerable research in EI,
she brings together the practical with the theoretical in a way you can
take it back to work and use it tomorrow! Follow-up coaching is also
offered.
All of our seminars are available privately at customer facilities. Contact us at info@auxilium-inc.com, visit us online, or call us at (800) 577-3528.

Gary C. Hinkle, President, Auxilium, Inc. Read Full Text When people ask me what we do at Auxilium, I’m usually under pressure to give my best “elevator pitch” – so I usually say something really brief like, “we help product development organizations improve processes and collaboration,” or, “we organize continuing education seminars.” If I’m lucky, I get a few more seconds to clarify. It becomes more difficult to clearly state what we do in just a few words as we grow. Since I have more than a few seconds to describe what we do for those who are interested in reading further, here’s an explanation.
