Get Organized (Time Management)

Our “Get Organized” workshop was developed and honed through coaching hundreds of business people on how to be more effective with one of their most important commodities – time

Paradoxically, poor organizational habits are often encouraged by the same technology that was designed to make us more effective: it is not uncommon for business people to spend most of their days swamped with e-mail, meeting requests and piles of paper around the office. This typically results in a reduced ability to get work done (particularly strategic work), coupled with high levels of stress and even burnout.

This course will help participants develop superior organizational skills by providing a simple, yet effective workflow system that is integrated with standard tools and technology such as Microsoft Outlook.

Kwela has delivered a time management and personal effectiveness program to many Hydro staff over the past few years. The deskside coaching is particularly helpful for operationalizing the classroom concepts. I personally have continued to use their expertise post-course – now 3 years later.
