If you feel like your “to do” list is proof that you’re losing the time management battle on a daily basis, you may be stressed but you’re certainly NOT alone!

Most of us struggle with how to get it all done each day and feel exasperated when we realize that WE JUST CAN’T DO IT ALL!!!

Project Managers seem to struggle more than most – being constantly pulled by clients, sponsors, team members, SMEs, functional managers, and other stakeholders seems to leave very little time to get everything done.

The bad news is … that most of us end up running around like a hamster in a wheel trying to find ways to check off tasks as quickly as possible.

The good news is … that there is another way – a totally different way – to approach time management.

The NEW time management model introduces 4 key steps that focus the individual on effectiveness more than efficiency.

The model encourages you to ask yourself key questions like:

  • Am I doing the right things?
  • Am I getting the biggest bang for my minute/hour/day?
  • Am I leveraging other resources that could do this better/quicker than I?

If you need a real paradigm shift to help you truly better manage your time, this session is for you!

In this webinar Owen Anthony will focus on practical ways to improve the transition from project delivery into business as usual.  Looking at lessons learned from other schemes and sharing success factors that support better handovers of schemes, the emphasis will be to help projects deliver benefits.

Billions of pounds are spent globally every year on projects and much has been written and taught about how to manage them as effectively as possible, but if they are not then handed over well, what is the point?

Without focusing on how to pass the project into the business as usual/ end user environment, the chances of the project delivering the benefits it was commissioned for in the first place are significantly reduced.

Owen led an APM research fund study which aimed to identify how handovers can be improved. The study drew upon learning from other organisations including Crossrail, The Ministry of Defence, Mediacity and many others.

The purpose of this talk is to share the findings of the research report, along with some practical tips and recommendations that can be applied to projects to improve their handover.

Presenter: Owen Anthony (LinkedIn profile) Programme Manager,Sheffield Hallam University. Prior to joining the University, Owen has been a pr project / programme manager for 15 years working in the public sector (NHS, Local Authority) and consulting (Mott MacDonald and Owen Anthony Projects) on a diverse range of projects from education and healthcare construction to IT, service redesign, and move management schemes.

Smart Practices such as mindfulness meditation, focused preparation and positive emotions that help improve habits, add new skills, and sustain excellence.

A Lack Of Focus contributes to performance issues. In this session Daniel Goleman explains why Focus is the The Secret To High Performance & Fulfilment.”  Daniel argues, Attention is an underrated asset for high achievers in any field.

Incorporating findings from neuroscience, Goleman will show why we need three kinds of focus:

  1. Inner,
    • For self-awareness;
  2. Other,
    • For the empathy that builds effective relationships; and
  3. Outer,
    • For understanding the larger systems in which organisations operate.

Presenter:  Daniel Goleman Psychologist introduced the concept of Emotional Intelligence to the business world. The premise of the book, now widely accepted, is that raw intelligence alone is not a sure predictor of success in life.The author of  groundbreaking bestsellers Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ and Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence Daniel was the first to promote that a greater role is played in organizations by ‘softer’ skills such as self-control, self-motivation, empathy and good interpersonal relationships is required for high performance of individuals.
