The Art of Managing Time

Course Duration: 2 Days

When it comes to time management, do you put off more today than you can ever accomplish tomorrow…have a tough time prioritizing tasks when everything is urgent…exhaust yourself by 4:00 p.m. with only a fraction of your work done…see yourself as a decision maker who never gets around to making decisions…dread the next business meeting—or worse, going back to your desk to see what voice mails and e-mails await you?

If you’re doing more and enjoying it less, it’s time to get out of the time trap and back to productivity through effective time management! This seminar gives you practical techniques for controlling time and making it a manageable resource.
