Course Overview

Our one-day Time Management workshop is available both in the classroom and online through Face-to-Face Live Online Learning sessions. We have adjusted the course content slightly for online delivery — please select your preferred delivery method below for the correct course outline.

 

This one-day course will consist of a couple of live online sessions with independent work in between.

The course has recently been updated in line with the latest ideas and time management techniques so that you have more time for the things you really want to do.

  • To prioritise: strategies for deciding what will give you the biggest return at work and at home
  • The importance of taking time to reflect
  • Tips for working with telephone calls and handling email like a millionaire
  • How to have more productive meetings
  • The importance of valuing yourself and how to say no
  • Tips for delegation
  • Dan Pink’s ‘When?’ Are you a lark, an owl or a third bird?
  • How to work with procrastination

Themes covered

  • Principles of time management
  • Identifying your values and priorities
  • How to decide what is urgent/not urgent, important/not important
  • Barriers to time management
  • Assertiveness as a tool of time management
  • Working on your preferred strategies for dealing with competing demands

If you need help beyond this programme fulfilling your personal action plan, then we also offer 1-to-1 Executive Coaching which can provide you with an insightful and structured space to discover and develop yourself further in order to achieve even more positive results.

Our approach to online delivery

The learning will be through a combination of interactive workshops delivered live through Zoom and self-guided assignments over the day.

You should reserve out 10am to 4:30pm in your diary for the learning. This will allow you to join the interactive workshops and have time to reflect and do the assignments in between. We believe immersing yourself in the content for a whole day will create deep learning and lasting impact.
