Developing Personal Effectiveness - Managing Time and Priorities - COM1
A One Day Workshop helping you to accomplish more in less time
Workshop Summary
  Time is a luxury in business and it is a common complaint that "there are not enough hours in the day". In this pressurised world, managers and staff in ever-changing roles are being asked to achieve higher levels of professional performance under increasing time pressures. No-one can afford to ignore the fact that the potential to achieve more in your job and from your personal life is partly dependent upon how well time is managed. This intensive one day Workshop identifies ways of managing time, priorities and people using innovative techniques and methods. It will introduce delegates to the concept of urgent versus important; teach them how to deal with interruptions; show them how to take control of their working practices and be clear about what they are trying to achieve professionally and personally; help them organise their lives to reach their goals.
