The pace of life is forever getting faster. There is an ever-increasing volume of tasks that people have to complete in their day-to-day lives. The successful and contented person is likely to be the one who completes the most important tasks successfully.

 

This programme is designed to relate effective time management to the achievement of business objectives and key tasks within jobs. It introduces the manager or sales person to good time management and organisational techniques which will help them achieve more during the day and deal with interruptions (e.g. telephone calls; impromptu meetings), without compromising the quality of their work.
