Happy New Year by the Gregorian Calendar and Dionysian or Common Era! Wishing you health and happiness for the year ahead...and beyond, of course! Hard to believe we’re here in 2017 already....
Welcome to our first Hot Links to Learning for 2017!
A holiday break and a new year often lead people to reflect and consider a change for themselves, personally and/or professionally. Reflection is great, intention and vision are fantastic, but action is what it takes to get things done. As stated by Michael Jordan:
“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.”
At Southern Cross Coaching & Development we are starting 2017 with a new communication system, providing a new look to our mailings. We hope you enjoy the new visuals, we certainly do!
When another year has passed, we often feel that time seems to go faster and faster, life seems busier and busier, quality down-time seems rarer than ever. In these circumstances it’s even more important to prioritise and manage our time, often simply to maintain sanity, let alone get through the day in an enjoyable and healthy way!
That's why we thought we'd bring you some interesting articles about Prioritising, Time Management, Brain Breaks, task lists, and the value in prioritising the small and simple things in our lives.
And as a little plug for our business, if you or the people around you in the office need better skills in time-management, then we of course run an excellent Time Management & Email Training. The course is extremely practical and provides useful, concrete skills on how to better manage competing priorities – especially the bane of all our lives, those damned emails!
All our courses are very practical, neuroscience-based, and are all tailored for organisational groups of all levels, from non-management staff to Managers and Leaders to Executives. We even do one-on-one programs for Executives, and also Executives and their EA's.
Give us a call on 02 7901 5618 or email getresults@southerncrosscoaching.com.au to find out more, or just to talk through what you’re looking for.
