TIME MANAGEMENT FOR BUSY PEOPLE

WARNING! Taking a TrainingPeople Time Management course might seriously improve your working life!

OVERVIEW

Time is our most precious resource. Yet many of us squander this resource through failing to set clear goals and wasting time on ineffective personal and working practices. This one-day introduction to time management will look at our personal and work priorities and identify ways in which we can make the most of our time. The course is a practical consideration of the key principles of time management.

TRAINING METHODS

All TrainingPeople courses are highly practical in nature and questions and comments are actively encouraged. No one is ever forced to participate at any of our courses but we do encourage maximum group participation. We make use of exercises, small group work, work in pairs and exercises such as quizzes and ice breakers designed to promote discussion and learning. The main points are illustrated by a mixture of PowerPoint, hand outs, use of a flip chart and video / audio (where appropriate). Our trainers always strive to provide actual examples of how the various issues under discussion have been practically implemented by individuals or organisations.
