2. We have all heard
about skills at some point in time
SKILLS

3. What is a skill?

4. There are many answers to that question,
but I prefer the one that defines a skill as;
AN ABILITY THAT HAS BEEN
ACQUIRED BY TRAINING.

5. We are all here to undergo
training and acquire abilities in
Microsoft Office Applications.
WORD = Week 1
EXCEL = Week 2
POWERPOINT
= week 3

6.  Anyone who is engaged in learning
can benefit from developing his or
her skills.
 When you set out to learn , you are
actually developing your skills …….
LEARNING

7. We are all born with countless natural
abilities….
If I ask you all to list all your
talents…..,

8. No two persons will have the same
list….
Some will have a longer list
than others….

9. WHY IS THAT ?

10. If you are thinking that it is
because some people are
than
others…..

11. Then you are
WRONG….!

12. Learning depends on many factors
including;
 What we like to learn…..
(INTEREST)
 And how we go about learning it…!
(Attitudes, Methods, Techniques
….etc)

13. You are here because you are
INTERESTED ……
We are here to
SHOW YOU HOW TO GO ABOUT
IT….!

14. There is no one “BEST”
way to learn.
It is increasingly recognised that
people learn in different ways.

15.  Some people learn
best by doing;
 Some learn best in
group situations,

16.  Others learn
best alone.
 Others prefer to
learn by listening
or reading.

17. The SECRET is to find the
METHODS and
TECHNIQUES that work for
you, and to maximise on
these.

18. Here are a few
things you can do to
quickly master your
skills in Microsoft
Office applications…

19. I WILL LIKE TO START FROM INSIDE….
THE MIND
In order to master any skill, you
need to
GET YOUR MIND RIGHT !!!

20. “A man always has 2
reasons for doing
something…
A good one and
The real one..”
John Pierpont Morgan

21. When you make up
your mind to
achieve any goal,
you will face some
challenges and
obstacles.
THEY ARE INEVITABLE !!!

22. There is an African saying that:
“IF THERE IS NO ENEMY WITHIN, THE
ENEMY OUTSIDE CAN DO US NO
HARM”

23. Fortunately 80% of the
obstacles you face when
trying to achieve anything
comes
FROM WITHIN YOU
(your inner voice)

24. And only 20% are
from external
sources like people
and conditions!

25. Some of you might
have been facing
challenges in some
Microsoft Office
applications….

26. Have teamed up and taken away the 20% of
obstacles that you had before.

27. In order to take away the remaining 80%
and benefit fully from this program, you
need to start asking yourself questions like
these:
 How bad do I want it?
 Am I willing to sacrifice time, energy and
sometimes money?
 Under what conditions will I give up?

28. Here are a few things you can do to
GET YOUR MIND RIGHT…..
1) STATE YOUR GOALS !!!
State the goals you
want to achieve by
undertaking this
particular course.

29. If you don't believe that you can achieve
your goal, you won't.
BELIEVE

30. Success is not just about hard work -
Get a Positive Attitude!
It is also about your attitude to your studies
and your belief in your ability to succeed.
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING!!!

31. When you are done with your
inner self, the rest is going to be
super easy!

32. Every skill has procedures especially in
Microsoft office applications.
One of the MOST IMPORTANT factors
that can make you MASTER YOUR
SKILLS is your ABILITY TO REMEMBER
the procedures involved in the skill in
question…

33. So you need to make good use of your
MEMORY…
1 very good memory killer is Alcohol…!
There are memory killers….
and memory boosters…
2 very good memory boosters are
physical exercise and rest…!

34. In order to develop a mastery of your skills, it must
be stored in your LONG TERM MEMORY….
Here are some few ways to transfer
information from your SHORT TERM
MEMORY to your LONG TERM MEMORY…..

35. ….. whenever you learn a new procedure.
The very process of writing down procedures,
increases your chances of remembering them.
WRITE IT DOWN..!

36. …as often as you can….
Share with others…
The more you talk about it, the
easier you’ll remember…
Talk about it…

37. PRACTICE,
PRACTICE
and PRACTICE
AGAIN…..!

38. TAKE A BREAK AND REST….
Sometimes the
only solution is to
take away from it
all.
Even a walk around the block can do
wonders …

39. PERSIST
Ability to persist is what makes
people to succeed.
Success never comes after
first attempt.
How many times did you stop
trying after the first failure?

40. HE WHO ASKS FOR HELP IS A
FOOL FOR 5 MINUTES…
ASK FOR HELP !!!
BUT HE WHO DOES NOT ASK
FOR HELP IS A FOOL FOR LIFE….

41. THE Y’ELLO CARE TEAM IS
