This session will focus on putting YOU
in the driver's seat by examining both attention and time management from many perspectives. You will be guided to examine what kind of focus and attention you give to work tasks, how you use your time, what things always get done and why some things just do NOT get done. We will review your personal self-management of work priorities, the role of technology in our lives and determine if some changes may be needed to increase both productivity and job satisfaction.
Thursday, September 19, 2019 from 9:00 AM to 3:00
La Quinta Inn & Suites 100 Congress St, Springfield
