Priority Management

This highly interactive ICL Priority Management training course will give you the tools and techniques needed to manage your time proactively and effectively.

Description

Introduction

This highly interactive Priority Management training course will give you the tools and techniques needed to manage your time proactively and effectively.

Successful people set themselves goals and objectives.  They know what they need to do, how they need to do it and have a plan to help them achieve it.  How you plan and prioritize your day are two of the key skills needed to be successful and add value to your organization.  Time is one of our most valuable resources yet we don’t always manage it as effectively as we could.  This can lead to a stressful working environment which will prevent you from being successful and achieving your goals.

A key aspect of addressing this challenge is the ability to influence others to support you in a way that assists achieving mutual goals. To do this, finely honed communication skills are considered by many thought leaders to be an integral part of any business professionals’ toolkit.

This two-module Priority Management training course covers these strategic areas in a unique, proactive manner, which will result in top quality performance back in the workplace. 

This ICL's training course will highlight:

  • How to set yourself realistic goals and objectives
  • The importance of planning and prioritizing daily, weekly and monthly
  • The relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Influencing
  • Techniques to help you structure a compelling proposition
  • The role of effective communication in managing your day more effectively
  • Techniques to manage workplace stress
  • How to manage the demands of others who want / need your time

This training seminar is split into two modules:

 

MODULE I - Setting Priorities, Time Management & Stress Reduction

MODULE II - Personal Effectiveness & Influencing Skills

Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.
