Have you experienced a situation with a colleague recently that you wish you'd handled differently? Distressing interactions with colleagues are a typical source of pressure in the workplace. Even if you're the model professional, you'll likely still come across people in the work environment whom you find challenging to deal with. It could be a colleague, superior, or even a client.
But first, a short overview of the previous two courses of the Performance Under Pressure series.
The first course was focused on building The Right Attitude as the starting point of achieving Performance Under Pressure. This course helps you understand the events and situations that cause you to feel pressure. It explains how you can understand your reaction to pressure, and how excessive stress can impair your performance. And, finally, it covers the principles for managing your attitude so that you stay in control and maintain a success-oriented mentality.
The second course focused on Taking Action Under Pressure. Pressure commonly leads people to two kinds of behavior: over-confidence, which can lead to poor judgment, and over-analysis, which can lead to paralysis. To be successful under pressure, it's important to learn to avoid these temptations, and that starts with learning how pressure influences your thinking.
People's perception of a situation or challenge can be clouded by negative thoughts that are driven by emotions. However, it's at these times that you need to think most clearly. To perform effectively under pressure, it's important to be able to recognize the real challenge presented by a situation, and to have a strategy in place to take effective action.
And now the third and last course, the one focused on Effective Human Interactions Under Pressure:
In order to maintain the highest level of performance, it's important to understand and control your own reactions to pressure and to handle the effects of pressure on colleagues. There are many circumstances where interactions with colleagues can generate pressure. For example, it could be an underperforming coworker, an indecisive client, or an unreasonable manager. You may even encounter someone who's insensitive or underhanded. Such pressures often build over time.
Pressure-induced stress can cause behaviors that create tension in the workplace if they're not managed properly. Typical reactions include irritability, lashing out in anger, actively avoiding people, or vocally being hypercritical of others. In pressure situations, the preferred action is to remain calm, professional, and deal with the issue assertively.
This course will explore the impact of pressure on work relationships through introducing the four typical work styles: expressives, drivers, amiables, and analysts.
You'll learn a technique to help you manage your own reactions, and also a technique for how to deal constructively with other people when they're reacting to stress.
The final technique will help you handle stressful interactions by monitoring your feelings, and pausing to replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts to prepare you to interact positively.
Next, before actually starting the course, a short video that will improve your learning experience.

Performance Under Pressure: Taking Action - Course Overview
Full Course: https://www.udemy.com/performance-under-pressure-taking-action/?couponCode=PROMONOW
As promised we are not going to directly discuss section by section the topics included in this course. First a course overview, and a short - very short reminder of the previous course from this series.
The previous course from this series dealt with The Right Attitude as the starting point of achieving Performance Under Pressure.
This course helps you understand the events and situations that cause you to feel pressure. It explains how you can understand your reaction to pressure, and how excessive stress can impair your performance. And, finally, it covers the principles for managing your attitude so that you stay in control and maintain a success-oriented mentality.
Now, to shift from attitude to actions, have you ever been under pressure to give an important presentation, or impress an important client, only to perform below your abilities? Many people struggle to give their best when it counts the most. This is largely because of how pressure influences their thinking and reactions.
Pressure commonly leads people to two kinds of behavior: over-confidence, which can lead to poor judgment, and over-analysis, which can lead to paralysis. To be successful under pressure, it's important to learn to avoid these temptations, and that starts with learning how pressure influences your thinking.
People's perception of a situation or challenge can be clouded by negative thoughts that are driven by emotions. However, it's at these times that you need to think most clearly. To perform effectively under pressure, it's important to be able to recognize the real challenge presented by a situation, and to have a strategy in place to take effective action.
This course outlines some ways that you can avoid the behavior associated with over-confidence and over-analysis. Then some principles for defining the true challenge of a situation are laid out, including learning how your thoughts can be distorted, and how to revise these thoughts.
Finally, a method for taking effective action in high-pressure situations is outlined, along with opportunities to practice that action.
But, we are going to see all in detail throughout the course. You will have examples and exercises to practice, and even a short optional course project if interested. This will help you understand and get you ready to apply your newly acquired or reinforced knowledge and skills.
Next, as promised, something for a better learning experience.

Performance Under Pressure: The Right Attitude - Course Overview
Full course: https://www.udemy.com/performance-under-pressure-the-right-attitude/?couponCode=PROMONOW
So, this will be a short course overview. And we start with the fact that pressure and work go hand in hand.
Hitting deadlines, meeting targets, and making difficult decisions are just some of the activities that can contribute to you feeling under pressure. Because work-related pressure has become so prevalent, you need to be able to handle it effectively.
Pressure isn't always a negative experience. Sometimes experiencing pressure can help you to perform at a higher level. But when pressure isn't handled properly, it can lead to excessive stress.
This can inhibit your performance at work. To deal with pressure effectively, you should approach it with the right attitude.
To develop the right attitude, you first have to be able to identify the triggers that cause you to experience pressure. Then you need to understand how you respond to pressurized situations. A major part of developing the right attitude is accepting that you can't always control the sources of pressure.
This course aims to help you to develop the mental and emotional strength for performing in high pressure situations.
If you're able to identify what causes you to experience pressure, react appropriately, and develop the right attitude, you should be able to thrive in pressurized situations.
And, with this we are ready to dive in. But before a short video containing some course guidelines for a better learning experience.

Operations and Supply Chain Management - Course Overview
Full course: https://www.udemy.com/operations-and-supply-chain-management/?couponCode=PROMONOW
Supply Chain Management Effectiveness
The overall performance of a business can be determined by the effectiveness of its supply chain management. This is an integral part of operations management.
It involves the coordination of multiple areas of business within a company in order to serve the market in the best possible manner.
Supply chain management includes procurement, production operations – the actual production of goods – and logistics.
Supply Chains for Service and Products
There are several methods to illustrate supply chains that are related to services and products in an organization. These methods differ from organization to organization, as well as between manufacturing and service industries.
There are four areas of supply chain management that this course covers: basics of supply chain management, supply chains in service organizations, supply chain strategies, and performance measurement of the supply chain.
Supply Chain Management Areas
In the first topic, you'll learn about the basics of supply chain management. The five major components of a supply chain are the suppliers, factory, warehouse, store, and consumer.
In the second topic, you'll learn about supply chains in service organizations. These supply chains must take into account factors such as variations in output, the human factor, and efficiency.
In the third topic, you'll learn about supply chain strategies. Lean production is one common supply chain strategy. Another is agile and mass customization.
In the fourth topic, you'll learn about performance measurement. Performance is measured in four main areas: planning, operations, delivery, and post delivery.
Supply Chain Strategy
Having an effective supply chain in place is essential for both manufacturing and service companies. Once they have a supply chain strategy in place, companies must take the time to monitor its effectiveness continuously and improve it as necessary. This course will explore how to manage supply chains in manufacturing and service companies.
Next
Just a short overview before going into the actual content. And, actually, you will have another video before that. It will be the course guidelines.
Thank you for watching and see you there!

Adopting an Agile Approach to Project Management - Overview of Factors to Consider
Full Course: https://www.udemy.com/adopting-an-agile-approach-to-project-management/?couponCode=PROMONOW
Agile Adoption Benefits
Using an agile methodology may have a tremendous impact on a project. It can shorten development cycles, improve quality and efficiency, lower costs, and result in better customer satisfaction.
Not Appropriate to all Projects

Other projects may benefit from using a hybrid approach, combining aspects of both traditional and agile methodologies.
Factors Determining Suitability
So before implementing an agile approach, you need to determine whether this is suitable for your organization and project.
This will depend on a number of factors. Among these are project type, organizational structure and culture, the nature of your organization's existing project management processes, and project team characteristics.
It's also important to consider the industry in which your organization operates and the willingness of the customer to participate in the development process.
Next
In the next video you are going to learn about every factor determining suitability for Agile implementation. And you are going to start with the project type.

Introduction to Sales - Course Overview
Full course: https://www.udemy.com/introduction-to-sales/?couponCode=PROMONOW
A sales transaction is a frontline interface between a seller and a customer. And, from the moment the sale is agreed, the process is very much a single action involving the salesperson. However, getting to this point involves the combined efforts of many people in the organization and the full support of the Sales and Marketing Departments, or - for that matter - the expert.
The sales and marketing functions have a symbiotic relationship, as the activities of both are interdependent and mutually beneficial. There's no point in marketing a product if there isn't a sales function to do the actual selling. Likewise, it's almost impossible to successfully sell a product without marketing planning and support. Sales is a difficult discipline to master.
There are no quick solutions that can guarantee sales success. In today's ever-shifting, globally competitive environment, achieving success in sales is harder than ever. This course discusses the close connection between sales and marketing. In addition, it details key competencies that can benefit a sales professional. It also covers trends that influence the current sales environment and how these have changed the buyer-seller relationship.
This course will also give insight into consumer buying behavior, the buying decision process, and the sales process. Next, one short lecture titled Course Guidelines presenting Udemy’s available options to improve your learning experience, and after this you will start learning about the roles of marketing and sales. Thank you for watching! And, see you in the next lecture.

Developing Effective Time Management Habits - Course Overview
Full Course: https://www.udemy.com/developing-effective-time-management-habits/?couponCode=TIME2L
Your time at work is precious - you have a lot to achieve, and your time is limited. To maximize your productivity, it is vital that you know how to manage your time efficiently.
Good Time Management Habits
To make productive use of your time you need to acquire or develop good habits in three areas: environment, technology and time stealers. environment Take steps to control your work
environment
This includes the physical environment that surrounds you, and the mental environment you inhabit.
technology
Use technology to help you be more efficient. Some people allow technology, for example e- mail, to reduce their efficiency, and you don’t want to be that person.
time stealers
If you're not careful, your productive time can be reduced as a result either of the unreasonable demands of others, or your own tendency to procrastinate. And, you need to develop time-management habits to avoid these 'time stealers'.
Learning Objectives
This course teaches you the habits you need to develop to be in control of your time, and stop reacting inefficiently to demands that are made on you.
You will learn how to organize your environment, and how to employ technology so that it is your servant, and not your master. You will also be alert to "time stealers”, and develop strategies to sidestep the dangers they represent.
Good Time Management
So, remember this: good time management habits don't happen by accident. They are the fruits of conscious decisions you make, and as a result, your use of time becomes more productive. Thank you for watching!
And, think about this: did you ever plan to improve your time management? Did you actually do something? You don’t need to give an answer. Just reflect on it. Next, a short video about using Udemy for better learning.

Using Emotional Intelligence on the Job - Course Overview
Full Course: https://www.udemy.com/using-emotional-intelligence-on-the-job/?couponCode=BLR98
Objectivity and Focus
Often getting a job done requires objectivity and a focus on the facts. But this doesn't mean you and your colleagues must leave your emotions at the door when you enter the workplace. In fact, taking emotions into account and managing them properly in the workplace can have several positive effects.
Positive effects of managing emotions
Your emotions have significant effects on your work performance, decision making, and interactions with others. Being aware of the role of emotions in the workplace can help you manage both yourself and others far more effectively. And, this can result in better decisions, productivity, and teamwork.
Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ)
As you might have guessed, it’s not me inventing this. Psychologist and author Daniel Goleman performed pioneering work when he identified key competency areas that make up a person's emotional intelligence quotient – commonly known as EQ.
These include personal and social areas, related to both awareness and management. This course focuses on the social aspects of EQ – empathy and relationship management. The self-awareness competency area is personal and relates to awareness, and self-management is personal but relates to management. Empathy is social and relates to awareness, and relationship management is social but relates to management.
Empathy
