Event Overview

So much to do – so little time to do it in! Everyone is faced with these dilemmas on a day-to-day basis. Is this what my boss really wants me to work on? What will the client say if I don’t get this to them by the end of the day? Which of these piles of work on my desk is the most important for me to deal with and will give me the biggest bang for my buck? You really have more control than you think and you make choices every minute of every day – you want to make sure they’re the right choices at the right time. This event allows the participant to reflect on their own personal time management system to determine if that system is working effectively and yielding the proper results.
