Personal effectiveness and time management

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice."
Steve Jobs - delivered to students and faculty members at Stanford University in 2005. 

How you manage yourself at work defines your personal effectiveness, whatever your level of seniority. Building self-awareness, identifying areas where you can maximise your contribution, gaining access to key skills and techniques, are critical to improving your personal performance. Your effectiveness is linked to self-understanding and the understanding of others.        
One particularly important facet of this is how we learn. This will be addressed by performing a learning styles questionnaire. This workshop will let you regain control of your workload by managing yourself and others more intelligently. You will learn how to say no, how to set yourself deadlines and, most importantly, how to sustain these improvements over time.
