The 7-Ups to Personal Effectiveness
Personal Effectiveness means winning the respect, confidence and co-operation of others. Being personally effective can go a long way in achieving success in life. In our course, The 7-Ups to Personal Effectiveness, we will teach you how to enhance your personal effectiveness in 7 steps.
How should we define success? To many people, success is most commonly associated with social constructs of status, such as having a fulfilling marriage, material comfort and a successful career to boot. However, spiritual beings may simply deem success as the ability to make a positive and lasting impact on someone else’s life.
Most of the time, people define success by quoting the profound words of famous personalities. However, the definition of success should come from within due to it being highly personal and subjective to start with. In this course, we will adopt the following definition of success, i.e. Success means having a vision to be the best that you can be!

So what do the following 7 Ups have to do with success?
- WAKE-UP
- LOOK-UP
- REACH-UP
- LIFT-UP
- WISE-UP
- FIRE-UP
- ACT-UP
To be the best that we can be, we have to first transform ourselves into highly effective individuals. The 7 Ups to Personal Effectiveness can act as checkpoints for us to boost our personal effectiveness, an important ingredient that paves the way to achieving personal success.
Course Objective – The 7-Ups to Personal Effectiveness
7 Ups can help us achieve Personal Effectiveness when we leverage on them to inspire confidence and gain respect from people whom we have dealings with. To do so, we have to hone our ability to make the right choices at the right time in response to challenges faced in our relationships, careers and important matters in our lives. Who we become is often intimately linked to the choices that we make at critical junctures of our lives!
Some of us like to reflect on past glories and use them as fuel for future success. Indeed, lessons from the past can inspire future success. However, our focus should be on the micro moments in life that we are living out right now! We should be active participants instead of passive spectators in the shaping of our own future. 7-Ups to Personal Effectiveness will constantly remind us of the need to participate actively in the shaping of our desired future so that we can all win in life!
By the end of the course, learners will be able to :
- Apply the qualities that will make them appreciate themselves better to achieve confidence and empowerment for greater productivity
- Take ownership of their lives to achieve personal and organisational goals and to live out their roles meaningfully to achieve excellence in all their endeavours
Alongside this course, participants can consider taking up the courses Applied Motivation for Division 1 & 2 Officers and Attitude – Your Most Priceless Possession to further push themselves out of their comfort zones and achieve success.
