Practical Time and Workload Management – 2 Day Online Workshop (PV851)
Essential Tools to Conquer the Clock
All our courses from September to December 2020 will be delivered as live, instructor-led sessions online. To register online please scroll down to the Register Online section.
Almost everyone encounters overwork and the pressure of time constraints — even the most organized person can sometimes feel overwhelmed and frustrated. This workshop will introduce you to practical ‘how-to’ techniques to help you achieve better results, both at work and in your personal life. You will learn how to organize your time effectively and utilize self-management habits that lead to increased productivity both on and off the job.
You’ll complete a 21 point self-assessment that will help you understand your personal style of time management, learn how to make that style work for you rather than against you, and work more productively with people who manage their time differently.
This is a two-day virtual live workshop.
Space is still available for all course dates listed, unless otherwise noted.
