From assertiveness to problem-solving to meeting and time management, discover
your natural strengths and capabilities and develop valuable skills.
Time Management
So many of us spend our day running around but accomplish very little because we are not focused on the right things. We spend so much time on an unproductive activity that our quality of work or the results we produce often suffer. We constantly beat ourselves up because for some reason we can’t seem to manage our time when in reality, we need to be managing the events in our life that use our time.
Time Management is a process of “self-management” or focus management on the things that are important as we strive toward the accomplishment of our goals. Time Management is a discipline. It is the ability to manage the self; it is not about managing time.
This workshop will help you recognize what is important/not important as it relates to your overall goal and/or project. Learn how to manage time wasters, which clog up our schedules and inhibit our progress.
In this workshop you will learn to:
- control distractions and interruptions which waste your time and break your flow
- increase your effectiveness (avoid procrastination) and reduce stress
- determine which things are most important, and which tasks you can “drop”
- unlock time that is currently undervalued and apply it to your successes
