A Different Kind of TEAM: Time, Energy and Attention Management for Leadership Success

A Different Kind of TEAM: Time, Energy and Attention Management for Leadership Success

Virtual 2-Part Series

Session #1: 
Wednesday, June 11th
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

Session #2: 
Thursday, June 12th
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

The first secret: time cannot be managed. It is a thing that exists, like gravity. But our relationship to time can and should be managed. Our ability to manage this relationship, along with our own energy and attention, is the key to long-term success in leadership. The bad news is that it’s another thing to worry about as a leader. The good news is that worrying about it makes everything else less of a worry. Attendees will come away with a list of practical actions they can start using immediately – and share with their colleagues and teams at work. They will have a discussion in breakout rooms about how similar actions have worked well, or not worked well, in their own experience. Lastly, participants will develop and take home a map of their personal energy levels, across their responsibilities and days of the week. For the workshop, Alan will draw on his ideas from more than two decades of experience as a leader, executive coach and facilitator – along with the experiences of his hundreds of clients to date.
