The new big picture need for time management
Do you think the current economic climate would affect participant mindsets towards time management training?
Pre pandemic the most common issues attendees wanted to address were important but granular ie. workflow, email management, planning, prioritisation etc.
All still valid issues to address today.
However, bigger issues has replaced the detailed objectives.
Standardise how to work to mobilise where to work
The concept of working from anywhere isn't new. The COVID-19 pandemic has just made it more popular now.
This week Slack hosted a great webinar “Navigating the disruption of work” which was essentially Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield chatting with Atlassian CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes.
What a privilege it was to hear these 2 leaders talk!!!

The LESS is MORE concept to improving results
If you jump at everything that moves, then you’ll eventually get to a point where all you’re doing is jumping.

Why meetings need to be hacked
Remote working has put a spotlight on the significant problem we have with our meeting culture with so many people exhausted with days full of Zoom or Microsoft Teams meetings.

Will More People Burnout By Working From Home?
In 2013, Marissa Mayer made headlines around the world as the CEO of Yahoo! when Yahoo! employees were told they could no longer work from home.
The drivers for this were primarily a desire to improve productivity, collaboration, and innovation.
This year the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the largest work from home experiment ever.
And guess what?
How to drive outcomes every day while working from home
A common challenge for people working from home is they can get themselves in a rut where they’re not making enough progress each day, or they’re overwhelmed by how much needs to be done.
The longer this is left unaddressed, the more of a habit it becomes causing them to be reactive and disorganised, which leads to increased levels of frustration and overwhelm.
Just having a good process doesn't make you effective
What’s been getting my interest is how someone becomes effective at working from home versus another person who doesn’t.

The most hilarious video conference call ever
From coaching people remotely via video conference over the years, I’ve occasionally seen some funny situations.
One that stands out was when I was coaching June (not her real name) who was a very professional, polite and quietly spoken lady. During the session we could hear June’s husband just being generally noisy doing whatever it was he was doing in the room next door.
