Who is it for

This course is valuable for anyone who feels they need to prioritise, respond to changing priorities, and react assertively when others place demands on their time.

What is it about

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by how much you had to do, or felt you were allocating too much time to tasks that are nowhere near the top of your list? This course lets you regain control of your workload by managing yourself and others more intelligently. You will learn how and when to say no, how to prioritise effectively and most importantly, how to sustain these improvements over time.  You'll leave with a clear head and the tools to make immediate, lasting improvements back at work.
