Why now?
Grim couple of years for some very public ‘professionalism failures’
An idea whose time has come – professionalism makes a difference!
Perhaps a change to the way we all work together?
![Page 4: Professionalism for success cdg natnl conf may10 - attendees copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b6a4b44a7959ef6d8b45b7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Past, present, future
Economy – a difficult time Employability – key to finding or
changing roles Work doesn’t have to be a 4 letter word! We all want quality of life
![Page 5: Professionalism for success cdg natnl conf may10 - attendees copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b6a4b44a7959ef6d8b45b7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The challenge
To find ways to make professionalism
work for all of us and the organisations
in which we work
![Page 6: Professionalism for success cdg natnl conf may10 - attendees copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b6a4b44a7959ef6d8b45b7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A question
How many of you have ever been disappointed by a colleague at work,
their attitude or their response?
How might it feel to know that this could
be eliminated?
![Page 7: Professionalism for success cdg natnl conf may10 - attendees copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b6a4b44a7959ef6d8b45b7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Three questions
1 What is professionalism?
2 Who is it for?
3 How can it help?
![Page 8: Professionalism for success cdg natnl conf may10 - attendees copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b6a4b44a7959ef6d8b45b7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How would you describe it?
What would be your definition of professionalism?
![Page 9: Professionalism for success cdg natnl conf may10 - attendees copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b6a4b44a7959ef6d8b45b7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Conclusions
Difficult to catch it all in a short phrase What are the elements? Ended up writing my book
I like Frank Tyger’s definition: ‘Knowing how to do it,
When to do it
And actually doing it’
![Page 10: Professionalism for success cdg natnl conf may10 - attendees copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b6a4b44a7959ef6d8b45b7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Definition or real world?
No agreed definition No problem
Professionalism is: About everything you are About everything you do At work, in your private life, by yourself Believe it, be it and live it!
![Page 11: Professionalism for success cdg natnl conf may10 - attendees copy](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b6a4b44a7959ef6d8b45b7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

‘Work smarter not harder’
Empathy - how it feels
Personal - how you act
Efficiency - being effective

Empathy
See through the eyes of others We can see the results
of our interactions with others
How would it feel? Would you like being
on the receiving end? Every type, every level
