This week, George Oliver will be giving a workshop on Time Leadership. We are happy to let you know we are welcoming back Erik Bleich to fill some precious moments with music. And one more timely announcement – don’t miss our new start time of 10:30 AM in the Main Activity Hall on the second floor!
Contrary to popular perception and the titles of an endless number of books, time can’t be managed. Because we lead chaotic lives in a chaotic world, time can only be led. In this workshop, you will learn and PRACTICE:
- How to develop a personal Credo that you will use to guide how you schedule and spend your time. (“Time is life”).
- How to create your weekly personal calendar so that is in alignment with your values and priorities
- How to free up time so as to reduce stress, get rid of things that are time-wasters and position yourself to be able to react to the inevitable unplanned demand on your time that will always be part of your life. (Remember: Time can’t be managed). Warning: Freeing up time requires discipline, ‘backbone’ and the ability to say “no”. We’ll talk about how to say ‘no’ a lot.
Techniques, concepts, quotations and tools relating to time will be shared throughout the workshop.
NOTE: In addition to your brain, please bring some paper to write on and come prepared to share the difficulties you have with time (e.g., “never have enough time”). As part of the presentation, we will discuss time-related issues and challenges identified by the attendees. You will leave with practical ideas, concepts and methods to – if applied – enable you to spend MORE time on things that contribute to having a meaningful life.”
