Multiply the value of this seminar with an in-depth Time Management Assessment

Everyone has his or her own time management style. Our Time Management Assessment is based on the DISC behavior model, and provides a simple model for understanding how people approach personal productivity.

Prior to the seminar, each participant completes a survey and receives a 15-20 page report including:

• An in-depth analysis of his/her time management style
• Personalized time-management tips based on the assessment
• Insights into how he/she deals with people vs. tasks, and a list of dos and don'ts to enhance task efficiency and interpersonal communication
• An action plan for improving his/her personal productivity

The personalized reports and group interaction based on the assessments add tremendous depth to the seminar.
