Management Month: Strategic Management Workshop

March 1st, 2021 | 12.15h | 13.30h
Online

The ORMIT workshop for the master's specialization "Strategic Management" will take place on Monday, March 1st from 12:15 - 13:30. During an ORMIT traineeship, personal development is key. That's why ORMIT's Workshop will also focus on a subject that has been delegated to this end.  Procrastination: we all recognise it and don't do it. Procrastination is particularly relevant in these crazy times in which we live and where everyone works and studies from home. We find that we start to miss going to the office and university. At home, we find it increasingly difficult to concentrate and/or motivate ourselves, which leads to procrastination. This is what ORMIT wants to address with its workshop. During ORMIT's workshop, the theme of procrastination behaviour will be addressed. During this workshop, you will gain insight into when people exhibit procrastination behaviour, why they do it and how you can better deal with it. What you learn during this interactive and instructive ORMIT workshop is immediately applicable in your daily life!  Do you want to find out more about ORMIT and their opportunities for you? Then register here! And who knows, maybe ORMIT will be your future employer. You can register until the 27th of February.  If you live within a radius of 4km form the center of Nijmegen, you have the possibility to receive a lunch from Subway at home. You can choose from: Sandwich: Veggie delite ( kaas en groenten) Tuna Chicken Fajita Turkey Ham Spicy italian BMT Vegetables: Lettuce Tomato Cucumber Pickle Paprika Red union Olives Pepers Sauce: Mayo BBQ Saus Chipotle soutwest Honey mustard Garlic sauce Hot Chili Sweet Chili Sweet onion Ceaser sauce
