Soft skills training - Time Management

Course Outline

Introduction
Even though many people profess to know how to manage themselves and their time, most are conscious that they could achieve a lot more if they did it better.

Who is this course for?
Anyone who wants to get better control of his or her time.
NOTE: Consistently lacking time can be one indicator that we are less effective than we could be. Although a course on time management can help, sometimes there are broader points to be considered. If you tend to answer “No” to the following questions, you should review the Course Outline for the Personal Effectiveness course to help determine if you should attend that instead of Time Management.

I have worked to develop my self-awareness and leverage this knowledge in the workplace to make the most of my strengths and minimize my weaknesses
