About the Course

Recommended for:


Time and Self-management
  is particularly beneficial if you’re a line manager responsible for your own work and the effective performance of others. It’s also useful if you’re a specialist staff member with choices to make in carrying out a multitude of tasks.

Course overview:


Want to reduce time wasted and focus on managing yourself better? Discover how to balance your time at work, which in turn will make an impact on retaining quality time for ‘you’ outside work.

Course benefits:


A really practical course, where you’ll learn to analyse your current use of time and recognise your key accountabilities and value-adding tasks. Back at the office you’ll be able to manage interruptions and other ‘time stealers’ more effectively, recognise and overcome resistance to change; you’ll also develop an effective system to help you manage your time, and recognise the early warning signs of increasing stress levels and how to improve your work/life balance.
