COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The Science of Productivity: Understanding and Clarity - Morning

Participants will create an action plan for renewing and sustaining their energy. They will understand the biological implications of stress and learn how to go beyond willpower and time management to get things done. They will also connect the dots between their core values, their interest in career achievement as well as other challenges, and their exhaustion or exasperation with demands at work and at home. Most important, participants will leave with fresh enthusiasm for the possibilities of 1) changing unproductive habits, 2) sustaining optimal performance in the workplace, and 3) feeling better about life in general.

Through discussion and activities participants will:

• Understand the foundation concepts of effective energy management and their relationships to maximum productivity, achievement, coping skills, and renewed enthusiasm in the workplace and at home.
  
• Understand that the positive impact of workplace and lifestyle change must be founded in a core of well managed physical, emotional, and mental energy.
  
• Develop a simple, smart, targeted plan for introducing energy management into working life.
  
• Experience renewed encouragement and excitement about applying these concepts in daily life.

Participants will understand how their current workflow management methods actually drain energy and focus.
They will develop strategies for restructuring work flow in ways that maximize time and energy. They will identify specific action items which will make substantial differences in how they juggle work, responsibilities, and the energy management practices identified in the morning session.

Participants will leave the seminar with more than a clearly outlined path from chaos to order; they’ll also know how to sustain the enthusiasm and motivation to implement it.
