Delivered by Cyril Peupion, author of Work Smarter, Live Better, this workshop focused on challenging current work habits to create behaviour change regarding how people execute their work on a daily basis.
Too many emails, never getting to the end of the to-do-list, out of control diary and not being able to leave work at a reasonable time are some of the challenges we face on a daily basis. This workshop explored simple, practical tools to move from reactive to proactive and allow you to have more control at work.
Some of Cyril's advice included:
- Don't leave your email until you've made a decision.
- High performance = no interruptions or distractions (we are interrupted on average every 3 minutes!)
- Do not underestimate the power of a clean desk.
- Effectiveness needs to scroll down, start from the top (managers, CEO's).
- Your calendar should be used to record your time, not just meetings (but also plan for at least 2 hours of interruptions a day)
- Think quarterly (high impact activities), plan weekly (schedule in your diary), act daily (it is ok to say NO)
