Time Management training

'From chaos to control: learn how to balance tasks and priorities to get more of the right things done'

Do your people ever complain they have too much to do in too little time? Do they sometimes lie awake at night thinking about all the things they have to do next day?

Are you looking for ways to help your team work smarter, not harder, so they can achieve more with less stress, and more fun.

Brainpower Training works inside organisations with groups of their staff usually in a Facilitator-led one-day or half-day workshop of around 10-16 people at a time.

Consider this: the super-successful have no more time available to them than anyone else, yet they appear to get more done in less time. That's because they've mastered the habits and tools of successful time management.

They've installed systems in their lives to...

• track all their 'To-dos'
• stay focused on the next most important thing to do
• focus on high-value tasks ahead of low-value tasks
• balance their workload with less stress
• get more done with more fun

Now your team can master the time management secrets of the super-successful.

Understand our quality process for customising

Brainpower training has a unique way of tailoring our programs to your people and the situations they face.

1. Diagnostic Conversation TM


We can have a structured conversation over the phone about your training needs, asking you some questions that are usually easy to answer.

There's no obligation, but if you do decide to go ahead, we can forward this info to our Facilitator as your 'brief', describing your specific learning and business-related outcomes.

This process is useful to do even before you decide which training provider tomove forward with. During this discussion you can judge if our course content matches what you are looking for and whether we are the right cultural fit for your organisation.

2. Scenarios

Once your dates are confirmed, we send you our 'Scenarios' e-mail for you to forward to your attendees requesting them to send in short situations or dilemmas they may experience in the workplace relevant to the topic. Or you can simply come up with 5 or 6 that are representative.

3. Pre-call 

Our experienced and qualified Facilitator contacts you by phone prior to the workshop to confirm logistics and find out what you'd like emphasised or focused on.

4. Video-based post-course coaching with bite-size, one or two-minute, quick web video. (Time Management has 9 tips.)
