Ian Sanders: ‘There aren’t enough hours in the day’ ‘Too much to do and too little time to do it in’ ‘Everything seems to be urgent’

These are some of the time management issues I hear on my courses. You want to be able to cope with the demands and pressures of your jobs, achieve greater productivity and strike a better work / life balance.

I relish the challenge of working with my delegates to plan, prioritise and manage their workloads more effectively, and drawing on many years’ experience in a number of high pressure roles will aim to put you at ease and work individually with you to help transfer your new skills to the workplace.

The cost of this Effective Time Management course is £569 + VAT per delegate.
