A one-day course – 5 Places Remaining

Date: 18th September 2015

We all have the same amount of time each day. The way we manage this time determines our success.

Essentially there are two kinds of people, those that act, and those that react! Those that practice good time management take an active and structured approach to their day, they take control of their situation ensure they get more of the right things done.

Those that simply react to what happens during the day let their situation control them, they get easily sidetracked, miss deadlines, forget about important assignments or appointments and ultimately don’t progress as far.

The CPD MasterClass has been designed to teach you the most effective, practical techniques to help you better manage your time and priorities. You will learn how to better organise your day, and set achievable goals for your day, week and month. We will show you how to apply the extremely productive 80/20 rule (the Pareto Principle), as well as using the Urgent / Important Matrix, to identify what’s most important. You will be shown how to keep track of your time to ensure you stay focused, and how to tackle unforeseen problems that arise during the day.

In this course, you will also be shown key delegation techniques so that you can learn to say “NO”, and methods for getting rid of “time stealers”. You will engage in lively discussion, as well as informative and entertaining workshops. All attendees will leave with 5 CPD points and a full course pack to refer back to at any time.
