Time Management Training

The PD Training Time Management Training Course will help you become more productive and more efficient in your role, and includes training in effective time management strategies such as goal setting, task prioritisation and delegation, applying the Urgent/Important matrix, managing emails and overcoming the habit of procrastination. The course develops your time management skills including setting S.M.A.R.T. goals, handling high pressure situations, and setting boundaries.

We want you to get the most out of your time spent in class, therefore, we encourage you to tell the trainer which lessons you would like to get trained in extensively before attending the course - you'll receive an invitation to do this once you've enrolled. The trainer will then tailor the training to your needs and cover those topics in more detail.

You will learn about your own personality type as well as other personality types and how to engage others in an entirely new way that provides a path to better communication and improved time management skills.

This is a practical class that is suitable for all audiences, and provides participants with tools they can apply on-the-job (and in other contexts) the very next day.

There are no prerequisites for this course.
