Time & Priority Management Training Overview.

Toronto-based time management trainer Bruce Mayhew believes all professional development training can be fun and motivating while also being informative.

Today’s complex workspaces mean work-life balance is an important part of relevant time management skills training. Great organizations and leaders recognize that when employees know how to balance priorities, manage their energy, and focus on meaningful work, they experience greater pride in their work while also delivering stronger results, greater innovation, and long-term commitment to the company.

Our corporate time management workshop gives leaders and teams practical strategies to improve focus, efficiency, and work-life balance. Participants learn proven techniques inspired by leading experts, including Stephen R. Covey (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®), Michael Bungay Stanier, David Allen (Getting Things Done), and Timothy Ferriss. By combining these best practices with modern change management insights, we help employees build lasting habits that drive both personal and organizational success.

Benefits of Time Management Training for Your Organization and Teams (onsite 4-hour training or full day training)

1. Boost Productivity and Focus

   By learning how to apply organize their day and week in advance using proven planning and prioritization techniques, your team will focus more of their time on high-value strategic work, while reducing distractions and managing procrastination lowering stress for themselves as well as their coworkers and clients.

2. Strengthen Boundaries and Better Decision-Making

   Your team will learn how to establish clear boundaries (and say “no” in a confident and respectful manner), to manage their workload and expectations, effectively handle interruptions from both people and technology, and remain aligned with organizational priorities.

3. Achieve Sustainable Work-Life Balance

   Time management training enables your employees to establish reliable routines, respond thoughtfully rather than reactively to challenges, confidently balance personal and professional responsibilities, and maintain high performance without burning out.

4. Improve Collaboration and Communication

   Your team will become better collaborators and communicators as they learn the importance of being transparent with their expectations and consistent on how they use technology and email. They will learn how to coordinate priorities and schedules more effectively, and foster a culture of respect for focus, time, and productivity.

5. Unlock Creativity and Long-Term Value

   When employees learn to effectively manage their time, they are able to dedicate time and positive energy to innovation and creativity to projects and their team / coworkers, have greater energy for their most important / most strategic work, and foster long-term engagement, satisfaction, and organizational success.

Let us help you learn to identify habits and remove distractions that sabotage your productivity and performance… and build new habits that help you succeed and drive improved business results.

We believe discussions about how to combine work-life balance and time management into our routine is essential for busy professionals... especially professionals with a family. As an example, a morning routine helps you, your family and your co-workers manage expectations and share your most important experiences. The following is a sample of a 'balanced' morning schedule.

Who Should Attend?

Time management skills help professionals be confident and productive. This includes professionals who want to do more great work when they deal with clients and internal audiences.

Time Management Training Tips

Training Tip #1

As an employer, you can help employees manage their time by setting clear goals, minimizing distractions using structured techniques like time blocking and the Pomodoro Technique. Other techniques include time blocking and task batching.

Training Tip #2

As a leader, you can help your employees develop and maintaining great time management habits by leading by example. You can demonstrate effective time management by meeting your own deadlines, staying organized, and communicating your strategies openly. Another of my favourite examples is to be transparent and establish clear goals and expectations for employees to provide direction and help them understand how to manage their workload.

Time Management Training for Professionals helps in many ways - including helping us learn how to do our most important work when we are at our strategic best… in the morning.
”Research shows kids score lower on standardized tests if taken in the afternoon. Even jurors are more likely to resort to racial stereotypes in that time,” says Daniel Pink in a CBC radio interview. Pink continues, “For this reason, we are best off doing our brainless administrative work in the afternoons, like answering emails or filling our reports. In the recovery time, that's when we are most creative.”
