‘Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort’ – Paul J. Meyer
Time is a precious resource that we often feel we don’t have enough of. Yet, in most instances the problem with time management is not that there isn’t enough time in the day, but how we go about utilising the time we have.
In this course, jam-packed with tips and techniques, we take a much-needed pause to think about how we manage ourselves, our workload, and our combined efforts. This course begins with enhancing self-awareness about current time management pitfalls and then moves into exploring how to enhance self-management. We then explore practical solutions to better planning and collaboration methods. By the end of the course, delegates will have a range of new ideas to make significant changes to habits, routines, and attitudes.
