Time management skills should be commonsense, but many people struggle - and so their work/life balance suffers. It’s rarely taught in school or university and yet the way we use our time, deal with our time challenges, prioritise, plan, delegate and communicate is critical to success in all areas of our life. The major quality that separates outstandingly successful and happy people from stressed and struggling souls is the way they make choices in life - hour by hour and day by day.

This is a very powerful and practical session – your audience gets the chance to solve their specific problems. In today's flat-out busy world we rarely take time to discuss and brainstorm solutions to everyday time-stealers. In fact, the majority of the answers are within the minds and experience of the group. Robyn skilfully taps both the questions and the knowledge of the audience: they walk away buzzing with enthusiasm, hope and action plans.

Apart from regular time management concerns such as planning and prioritising, topics often asked for by the audience include:

How to run an effective meeting Better delegation What systems can be improved in the company, and how More effective use of email How to improve your work/home balance and have a better quality of life.

‘Getting a Grip on Work/Life Balance’ - Keynote or Interactive Speech/Workshop

Discover the best of the best from around the world in time management knowledge and research, and how to apply it to the hot topic of work/life balance. Your participants will enjoy Robyn’s blend of commonsense, humour and practical illustrations gleaned from both her personal experiences and those of her clients.

‘From Gumboots to the Boardroom’ – Keynote
Robyn shares her journey from early years as a librarian, then raising 6 children on an isolated sheep-station in Northland, New Zealand, through welfare aid as a single mother, part-time government-assisted work, through to being a top-selling real estate agent. In 1992 she became a business owner. Since then she has three times set up a speaking and training business in two countries, starting each time from scratch with an entertaining variety of ‘learning experiences’. As her reputation as an eminently practical and easy-to-listen-to speaker on time management-related matters has spread, it has led her to many boardrooms and conference centres around the globe. She will delight your audience with her practical and humorous journey.

Testimonials:

“We’ve had great feedback. Your pragmatism is so appealing. Simple things to focus on that don’t require a new regime of behaviour. It was relevant to the whole of life - simple, practical actions for work, and our precious leisure time. My secretary and I have had many discussions. She’s reading ‘Getting a grip on time’ on the bus - keeps coming in to work and quoting bits to me! What we both like, is how easy it is to read and take in, and so very down to earth.”
Institute of Chartered Accountants, New Zealand.

“I’ve “been around” long enough to be a bit ho-hum about “organise yourself” seminars. I have been to time management seminars, read books and listened to tapes so I “agonised” (procrastinated!) for some time before enrolling. I enjoyed your session. More than that, it was money and time well spent. I gave the seminar 5 stars for everything. You are relaxed, competent and comfortable with your subject and you certainly got a bunch of “reserved accountants” participating very well.”
Marley Loft Ltd, New Zealand.

“I estimate that our teams have become at least 10% more efficient since doing your programme. Everyone is more aware of other people’s time needs, but now we wonder how other divisions with messy desks operate!”
Road Transport Authority, NSW, Australia.

“Now several months later and my productivity has increased between 30% and 50%. I’m seeing more and better clients, almost 90% proactive. I’m starting around 8am, leaving by 6pm and spend sleep hours asleep. Now there’s an innovation.”
IPAC, Sydney

“Your time management seminars are one of the best things we’ve ever done. Weeks later staff are still discussing the sessions and how their organisational skills have improved. Not only has it lifted productivity, but also boosted morale.”
