Overview

Does this picture sound familiar?

  • You have endless e-mails and voicemail messages, many of which are marked urgent
  • You have a critical meeting in 15 minutes and you’re still waiting on updated figures from colleagues
  • You have two proposals that are due today and you haven’t even started on a draft
  • Every time you sit down to tackle your unfinished projects, the telephone rings or someone interrupts you to ask if they could have a minute of your time 
  • You have just been asked to entertain an out of town client after work 
  • Your daughter’s softball league final is this afternoon and she wants you to attend

Each day we are bombarded with an overwhelming amount of information, asked to make hundreds of decisions, required to juggle countless projects and expected to meet numerous personal demands. Our lives cry out for balance, and yet few can identify, let alone practice, the skills needed to bring things under control. This skills gap and its by-products (confusion, anxiety, and loss of control) are impairing both per- sonal and corporate productivity.

Other Information:

  • The session will be delivered on the Zoom platform so all participants will work from their own workspace and use their own computer. Zoom has video capability but, if the participant’s computer is not equipped with a camera, audio will also work.
  • To register we will need the name of each participant and their email address.
  • Participants should enter the Zoom training room at least 15 minutes (8:45 AM) before the start time.
