Professionals today are increasingly asked to move faster and do more. But we are also dedicated to a balanced life and time with family and friends. This creates more communication, responsibilities, and commitments than ever before. Not to mention an endless to-do list. It creates an environment where we spend all of our time being reactive, and very little time being proactive.

The result is that although we seem to be busy all day, in truth we get very little of the important stuff done.

In this presentation, you will:

• Learn the top three productivity tips you aren’t using
• Be given the tools you need to regain up to two hours of your time per day
• Discover the time-saving benefits of Empowered Productivity, putting YOU back in the driver’s seat of your life and work

Presenter: Maura Thomas (LinkedIn profile) founded RegainYourTime.com in 2003, and has worked for 17 years in the productivity training industry. During that time she developed a workflow management process for getting things done called the Empowered Productivity SystemTM. Maura has a strong social media presence, publishes a widely-read blog on productivity issues, and works both nationally and internationally.
