Summary

Time management is a challenge for almost all professionals.

Workloads are going up, we are constantly connected and trying to fit more into the same amount of available time.

Most advice and training that is available focuses on time management tools. Whilst such tools can be very helpful, they focus on the notion that the only thing we can optimise is how we fit in and prioritise our time, but time is a finite resource.

Energy, however, is not finite. If we learn to understand how to optimise our energy, time itself becomes less of an issue. When we are fully engaged and energised, we are more focused, efficient and more creative. We achieve so much more in the time that is available to us.

If we don’t understand our own personal energy “boosters” and “drainers” we will be forever chasing time and this will ultimately lead to diminished performance, exhaustion and disengagement. By developing awareness about our individual energy we can truly optimise our time by being full engaged and present, without exhaustion and overwhelm.

The core problem with working longer hours is that time is a finite resource. Energy is a different story. This course will help you understand how to manage these better.

Who should attend?

Anyone looking to take more control of their emotions by improving the quality of their energy, regardless of the external pressures they’re facing. To do this you must become more aware of how you feel at various points during the workday and of the impact these emotions have on their effectiveness.

The principle of energy sources and intermittent renewal
The factors that influence their energy resources
The notions of energy boosters and drainers
