We start with the core concept of self-management, what it is and how it works in this everchanging environment.

The programme thereafter deals with three pillars of self-management: Efficiency – Effectiveness – Energy

We start with the challenge of being effective (“Am I doing the right things?”). You learn how to deal with the tornado of urgent things in order to be able to spend more time to the important tasks in your job. We challenge you to take responsibility for your priorities yourself and we give you tools to influence your surroundings effectively by doing so. No ready-made tips & tricks, we offer you a personal quest and the development of your own approach.

Concerning efficiency (how to get more things done in less time), our approach is based on the insights of ‘Getting Things Done’ (David Allen): collecting, processing, organizing, doing. Planning thereby plays an important part. We give you workable tips and ideas for approaches concerning (short term and long term) planning, managing information, order and tidiness, working in a focused way and personal organization. With every building block, participants check how their own work context corresponds with these insights and they design an action plan to organize their work and time in a better way.

The last lever for personal effectiveness is energy: energy and desire to work effectively and efficiently. We deal with personal motivation, the art of making effective and conscious choices and how to keep on motivating yourself to follow these choices, even on those moments when things don’t go our way. We apply the cornerstones of motivation to your own work context and explore how you can inspire and motivate your colleagues. We provide a roadmap on how to deal with stress and misfortune in a resilient way. And we help you find out how to (even) better connect professional choices and personal aspirations.
