How to write an outstanding ABP Award entry
May 31 at 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Free
Speaker: Clodagh O’Reilly, Chair of the ABP and Certified Principal Business Psychologist
Summary:
Deserving an ABP Award and winning an ABP Award are not necessarily the same thing. Standing between you and an award you might richly deserve is the all-important written submission. Composing a winning award entry is more than just adding some ‘what we did’ content to a word document: it is about making a compelling case to the judges, convincing them that you are the most worthy applicant. This requires a well written and well presented submission. You also need to provide evidence against each of the Judges’ assessment criteria, which have been revised for 2024, to align to the ABP’s unified standards framework.
In this workshop, Clodagh O’Reilly, Chair of the ABP, Certified Principal Business Psychologist and our most experienced Awards Judge, will outline the entry process, identify what the panel will be looking for, and share top tips to help you maximise your chances of winning an ABP Award.
