The average employee spends 11 minutes on a project before encountering a distraction. With so many responsibilities, interruptions, and fires to fight every day, time management is essential– but too many “time management” courses focus on squeezing more activity in a single day. This workshop takes a radically self-reflective approach, helping you identify those activities that add the most value to your organization and career– while ruthlessly outsourcing, delegating, or cutting the rest. Instead of focusing on what you can’t control (co-workers, boss’s demands, unexpected crises), you’ll learn scientifically-supported techniques to focus on what you can… your own planning and decision making. Learn to enhance your team’s performance while maximizing your own time and effectiveness!
