What will you get?

Be more productive and effective with your time. Connect with the important and essential parts of your role…. and your life.

At Intelligent Dialogue we know time is precious, we also know that everyone has the same amount. Some people are better than others at being productive with the time they have available, and are consistent in making time for the things that matter to them such as time with family, friends, themselves.

In our time management training, we work with participants to get control back, so that their time and energy is focused on the things that will make them most effective and most productive.

It’s believed that the office worker of today works for an average of three minutes before an interruption occurs. Email is a tool, often useful, sometimes a distraction, sometimes a waste of hours of work.

Our time management training and coaching helps people explore their approach to managing their time and their productivity. It offers practical ways to manage and organise your work, schedule and emails. After all, – you can’t make a difference looking for your keys.

We also help participants explore their natural preferences around tasks and deadlines, giving time for them to consider what that means for them, and develop an action plan of how they need to work more effectively.

For those people overwhelmed by the volume of their work, we help them to understand how to prioritise their work load.

For those involved in sales, we help them to look at sales effectiveness, so that they spend time doing the things that matter, which is usually speaking with the right people within prospects and/or accounts.

Managing time & productivity – what participants say

“Thought and Action Provoking, company money really well spent, thoroughly beneficial working day. Will help me to prioritise my workload and remember to plan, do, review.”

Even after just over a month my numbers as in number of booked meetings have double and quotes have gone up by 61%. As you can imagine we’re amazed by the results.

What you will get from Intelligent Dialogue Time Management & Productivity Training.

During the training we will:-

explore the real challenges and blockers to productivity
explore the difference between outcome and activity
look at focus and why multi-tasking doesn't work
understand ways emails and alerts can be managed so that the time is found for focus
understand how to prioritise the important essential for performance
use tools to explore how we spend time and where we lose productivity
examine individual task and people focus and what that means for our own productivity
use tools and techniques to help monitor and manage effectively

How long will it take?

Usually a half day split into 2 sessions. Run virtually by an experienced facilitator, we get participants to track their time between sessions to explore what they can do to be more productive and effective.

We can also add sessions on sales planning and effectiveness, wellbeing and resilience, and delegation to help you achieve the outcomes you would like to achieve
