Entertainment Management

This book recognizes the special difficulties faced by creative educators, such as the need for freedom of expression and the diversity in class sizes and ability levels as well as physical space constraints. In order to help instructors create a learning environment that not only manages behavior and makes the most use of class time, but also ignites students' desire for learning, Dr. Dawn has painstakingly selected 30 secrets. Each secret is a combination of strong academic concepts and practical advice.

Do you ever find that you have no energy or no enthusiasm for what you have to do next? In this programme you will discover the importance of managing yourself well and how to take control of your own physical and mental state, no longer needing to depend on external circumstances. Just as athletes prepare for a sporting event you will learn how to prepare yourself for situations at work so that you perform at your best more easily.

Every manager has to influence others more, as we change from command and control management to a more empowered work force. In this programme you will explore the preparation and techniques which enable you to be a powerful and ethical influencer. You will add to that, the skills for handling negotiations so that both sides feel they have gained and come to win…win.

Restructuring, new responsibilities, updated systems – just a few examples that require us to view change positively and treat it as an opportunity, as opposed to a disruption. You will also learn how to help others to deal more positively with change so that you can all approach it far more constructively. You will be encouraged to not just manage change but to actively promote it as a more satisfying way of life.

As a manager you are a role model to your staff – so what sort of example are you setting? In this programme you will find out what being a role model really means and how to consciously set a good example in behaviour and attitudes. We will also consider how you can use role models yourself to improve the example you set for others.
