TRACK II PERSONAL PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFECTIVENESS SESSION ONE TIME SAVING TIPS AND STATEGIES FOR GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR WORKDAY If you ever feel that no matter how late you work, you still don’t get enough finished, this is the workshop for you. What’s worse is that we are expected to get more out of the same 9 hour workday as before – and with fewer people! Between monthly reports, staff meetings, e-mails the day extends even longer. With so many requests and responsibilities, how can you more effectively handle your workday and still feel as if you’re actually controlling your workday
SESSION TWO BALANCING YOUR CAREER, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR LIFE You keep saying that you wish you had more time to exercise, read a book, spend with family or even take a vacation. Now add in the responsibilities of managing an entire department and you can barely make time for lunch, let alone a family vacation. It was a lot easier when you only supported one director and now that they’ve hired two more. You can barely get out of the office on time. Weekends come and you’re exhausted. If this sounds familiar, then this session is for you. Find out six concrete strategies for managing every area of your life
SESSION THREE COMMUNICATING WITH CONFIDENCE & CLARITY How could she mess this up? I thought my instructions were pretty clear and so did she! Just because we’re speaking doesn’t mean we’re communicating. Sometimes our communication style gets in the way of our point. What most of us don’t realize is that it’s usually something small that gets in the way. From the person who plays with their pen, to the person who doesn’t look at your when you’re speaking. This course focuses on the things that get in the way of communicating effectively.
SESSION FOUR DEALING WITH DIFFICULT EMPLOYEES Here she comes--- the employee that’s ALWAYS LATE with a painful and detailed reason behind it. How about the manager that can’t seem to make a decision? And, let’s not forget the person who is always on the phone with their kids, family or friends. These scenarios may not apply to you, but I’m sure they apply to someone. This workshop can help you determine how to work with them without causing animosity.
