Course Overview
Taking the initiative is a crucial step in moving forward in our
professional and personal lives. By showing initiative, it reflects us
in a positive light to others as well as builds our own self-esteem. If
we want something to happen, we need to make it happen. That is what
initiative is all about. Take opportunities and run with them. Do not
let excuses cause you to miss out on amazing opportunities. See what you
want, believe what you want, and make it happen.
With our Taking Initiative course, the class participants will learn
what initiative is, how to take it on, the advantages of it, and when to
know one’s place. By enrolling in this class, participants will be
taking the first step in making something positive happen for them! Now
that is initiative!.
Research has consistently demonstrated that when clear goals are
associated with learning, it occurs more easily and rapidly. With that
in mind, let’s review our goals for today.

- Identify what initiative looks like
- Recognize when you can take steps outside the normal
