Personal effectiveness training allows participants to take some dedicated time out and focus on themselves. “I don’t have the time”, is an excuse used by many and whilst usually true, allocating space for progression brings results in abundance. With a little effort, this course encourages the skills you already have whilst providing additional techniques on top. Across just half a day (3 hours - including a break), delegates are shown the main, focus principles for improving personal productivity activities.

Participants investigate the management of mental capacity whilst examining certain misconceptions of time. We’ll consider how to handle distractions and interruptions guilt-free and with ease. This personal productivity training course teaches stress-reducing methods to the approach of an ever-increasing task list. We will also discuss the best responses when you genuinely ‘don’t have the time’!

You will never have 25 hours in a day. You can however continue improving personal productivity and output to manage your days effectively.
