Managing Time and Information
Time is a precious commodity in this busy age but many of us unwittingly waste time each day through the way in which we work. This can be the result of not understanding our role clearly, role drift (in which our role changes over a period of time), or poor management resulting from poor time planning and/or procrastination. Whatever the reason, getting back on track will leave you feeling more effective, improve your energy levels and minimise the risk of suffering work-related stress.

Time Management module
Where does all our time go! We often feel that time has flown by and we are left with too much to do in too little time. This module looks at how our well-planned time suddenly disappears as if by magic, leaving us frustrated, and with work left undone. Delegates will learn how to spot the activities in their daily routine that take longer than realise and cost them precious minutes.

Information Module
Today we are surrounded by information emanating from all manner of sources and through many different types of media. This module helps delegates to identify where information is coming from and to develop effective ways of determining how to deal with each piece of paper or email that lands on their desk.

A tree, in isolation, is beautiful to behold but more stunning when captured in harmony with the sky, the earth and its surroundings. We, too, are more and achieve more when our personal effectiveness and self-awareness gels with our colleagues' needs and aspirations and our organisations sense of purpose and direction.
