Effective Time Managememt

This is a one day course which focuses on the way we think about time. It raises awareness of why we lose time, and what we can do as people to change how we manage ourselves around the time we have available.

The session also looks at the basics of delegation as a way to gain more time, as well as assertiveness and behaviour to manage those around us more effectively when it comes to communication, tasks delegated to us or requests to carry out adhoc tasks.

Once this has been covered, the final part of the session looks at the tools available to organise yourself more effectively.
