We are all living and working in
pressurized environments where the constant threat of streamlining
and downsizing is the norm. More productivity is expected in less
time from fewer people. This causes stress and leads to the feeling
that there are not enough hours in the day. This learning event is
designed to provide you with the strategies, tools, and tips to
improve the way you work and live.
During this two-day workshop, you
will learn about and apply proven time management and organizing
skills, concepts, and principles through a number of dynamic
lectures, interactive class discussions, and practical hands-on
