We’ve all heard that setting priorities in our personal lives is key to achieving our goals.

Some of us hire personal coaches to get our lives in order, but when it comes to what we do within the office, all that planning goes out the window.

Organizations today are running at a much faster pace than ever before. We have technology glued to us at all times so that we can quickly respond to things.

But should we really?

This month Core Performance Concepts will talk about the benefits of prioritizing our days both at home and at work.

They understand that you don’t always have control over the priorities that may be set for you in the office, but will discuss some strategies and approaches to gaining clarity of purpose when your supervisor says something is urgent or if you are feeling like you have too many projects on your plate.

At the end of this session, they will ask for attendees to submit a scenario they would like to have discussed in their May 27th panel. They will share experiences and strategies for helping you get your time in control.

Benefits

  • Learn how to prioritize both at home and work
  • Identify key strategies to gain clarity
  • Plan your projects accordingly
  • Submit your scenarios to discuss next session
  • Earn 1 PDU
