Do you feel bombarded by information and nonstop email? Are you overwhelmed by persistent interruptions and constantly changing priorities? Get ready to make some changes in how you work in 2013.
UCOP HR Learning and Development is offering a new full-day course, Accomplishing More with Less, Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Franklin Lobby 1 Conference Room. Enroll now through the UCOP Learning Center.
This fun and engaging workshop will help you learn new ways to approach your work that will empower you to work not harder, but smarter. You’ll accomplish more in less time, with less effort and less stress.
The workshop provides breakthrough techniques for managing your time and priorities as well as organizing your to-do lists, email and documents. Goals include learning to:
- better manage interruptions and stay focused while still being responsive to the needs of your team members;
- work more strategically instead of working harder, manage competing priorities and better align daily activities with your goals; and
- become invigorated and re-energized in the workplace and elsewhere.
The class is facilitated by Pierre Khawand, who founded People on the Go in 2000 to help business professionals effectively manage the use of email, office applications and other technologies that have sped up the pace of the contemporary workplace.
The workshop includes segments on establishing daily goals, creating an email management system and using such tools as action plans to improve workflow. Also included are individual and team exercises, collaboration best practices and techniques for managing interruptions and stress.
Be sure to enroll early. Go to the UCOP Learning Center today and learn how to work more effectively in 2013.
For those of you who have jobs where you are constantly juggling many projects at once, or if you are continuously interrupted during your work day this is a great opportunity to learn tricks and skills to help you stay organized.
I took this class from Pierre through my last employer and gained a great deal from it. Pierre is very helpful and insightful in his approach.
I highly recommend you take this class, if it is not already filled up.
