Our flagship one-day program combines modern productivity strategies with hands-on practical implementation using MS Outlook. Participants not only learn to work more productively in this session, they actually get organised before they leave, increasing the chances of lasting behavioural change.
Senior executives have the most to gain by increasing their productivity, yet are the least likely to take the time to upgrade their skills. The Productive Leadership program not only helps them individually to work more effectively, it will help them to create a culture of productivity across the organisation.
If you are organising a conference or team offsite, and would like to fire it up with a super-practical, engaging and inspiring productivity session, our Smart Work short sessions are perfect. Talk to us about designing a keynote, breakout session or offsite presentation.
