Overview

Managing time and priorities has become an essential skill to develop. In fact, most people describe their workday as either stressful or very stressful.  In this fast-paced culture, we are pressured to get results quickly, if not instantly.  However, to achieve satisfaction in our lives, it is important to find a balance between the demands of today and the investment required to meet the needs of tomorrow.

It is we who have the power to influence our relationship with time, including the ways in which we use our time.  This course encourages the participant to develop the necessary perspective to make new decisions and implement solutions aimed at better using their time, achieving an optimal level of performance, and attaining their objectives.
