Recent student feedback
stars “This was a great course, better than I expected it to be. I think that we received valuable information and this course gave me information to evaluate my personal time and my work time. It showed me the importance of balance and provided great tips and physical tools to manage my time. I have great information to take back with me and already have an action plan to execute when I return. I am excited and less overwhelmed, I feel prepared to improve and succeed. Thank You Carol, you were a great instructor today. ” Aisha Brent

stars “Jeanette was about as good a instructor as you could ask for when it comes to time management. It's a breath of fresh air when an intructor brings in their own experience and metholody to a course as opposed to just following the training materials. A good instructor uses those materials as a base to build their course and expand in the most relevant areas. This course really helped me step back and take a look at myself and how I handle my day-to-day work. Now I'm just excited to get out there and use these new skills. ” Kyle Snyder
