TRANSVERSAL SKILLS

“We say that children are in a growth phase when they are growing and healthy.
It’s the same thing in economics: a country’s growth is measured regularly to check that the country is in good health.
Various performance indicators are used to do this, such as GDP (gross domestic product).

But is economic growth compatible with environmental protection?

To address this problem we need to use other indicators to measure economic growth, such as sustainable development.
I have designed this course to give you an insight into the mechanisms behind economic growth. We will also examine the impact of this growth on the environment by considering sustainable development.”

“Speaking in public can often be difficult.
We all want to communicate, but do we have the expertise to be heard, understood and well received?
How can you make your speech a success?
What are the keys to successful public speaking?

I will also help transform you into a charismatic speaker who can drive progress and solve problems.”

“The idea of forming an economic and political group of European countries emerged at the end of the Second World War.
In 1957, representatives from six countries (West Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg) laid the foundations of the current European Union by signing the Treaty of Rome.

Since then, many countries have become members of the European Union (EU), which is today composed of 28 member states.
The eurozone is formed of European Union member countries who have adopted the euro as their single currency. There are currently 19 eurozone countries.

The European Union is managed by five main institutions and eight key community bodies.”

“Economic reflections have existed since antiquity, emerging initially in Ancient Greece and then in Ancient China, where market production and an economy first appear to have been developed.
Since 1800, different schools of economic thought have succeeded one another:

• The foundations of economic science first emerged via the two “precursors” of classical economic thought: the schools of mercantilism and physiocracy
• The first half of the 19th century saw the birth of the classical school; while
• The Marxian school emerged during the second half of the 19th century
• The neoclassical school is considered to be the fourth main school of economic thought;
• Finally, the last school of economic thought is the Keynesian school

In this course I invite you to examine these five schools of thought in detail: What are their theories? Who were the key authors of these schools?”

“We can use management techniques to improve the performance and productivity of a company’s employees. This will then improve the performance and the productivity of the company itself, which is the goal of every manager!

The term management covers all of the techniques used to organise and manage a group (or an organisation, or entity, etc.) in order to achieve a common objective. In a business world of constant change, it is important to help employees to continually develop their skills so that they can keep up with these changes.

It is also important to know how to rapidly identify and assess crisis situations and to implement actions to help manage them.”

” A good negotiator displays the same qualities as a high-performance athlete. This is no time for improvising; the case must be carefully prepared – although the negotiator also needs to be flexible and highly reactive.

A good negotiation aims to benefit and satisfy both parties. It should play out as a win-win game and a partnership where each party wants to achieve its own objectives.

But how can we ensure that our negotiation will be successful?”
