On the 14th
of December project partners from MIBO carried out the training “Psychological
resources of Entrepreneur” for young entrepreneurs from Murmansk. Participants
of the training discussed influence of personal qualities on success of entrepreneurial
activities. Young entrepreneurs along with Elena Zubritskaya and Elena Skiotis made a
psychological portrait of entrepreneur and did some practical exercises to
develop public speaking and management skills.
The most
difficult task was to form skills for short and persuasive expressing point of view. Participants were divided into two teams. The first team had the
task to defend the position of "The entrepreneur must take risks, because
...", while the second team had to prove that "the entrepreneur does
not have to risk, because ...". During discussion of results, participants
concluded that it is important to be able to express thoughts concisely and
intelligently in dispute, as well as to respect the opinion of the other
side.
The
exercise for teambuilding was easy; every potential conflict situation was
solved by the sense of humor and positive attitude of participants of the
training.
Summing
up the training, all participants agreed that these studies helped to learn
more about their psychological characteristics, about personal internal
"allies" and "saboteurs" to achieve objectives, and how to
use them in the right time or overcome.
Next step is to organise "Rules of business communication" training, stay tuned!
