Leadership and ManagementTime, Stress Management and Prioritisation
Most time management fails because the underlying problem is not technique but too much work and no agreed basis for choosing between competing demands. This course addresses both halves. Delegates work through prioritisation against actual objectives, the discipline of declining or renegotiating work, planning that survives interruption, and the management of attention rather than merely hours. The stress material is practical: recognising your own early warning signs, the physiological basics, recovery, and the distinction between pressure that improves performance and load that degrades it. Delegates leave with a working system rather than a list of tips.
