Imagine the feeling of being in control of your time. Of finishing your day with a satisfied feeling of having completed everything you need to complete. Imagine having a complete overview of your tasks and your projects and knowing that you can and will complete them and that you will do this on time. That is what Communications expert Andy Habermacher's workshop 'Feeling in Control' is all about. The first step in the workshop involves identifying time and the problems this causes us - we also need to appreciate that we have enough time. We then move onto organisation, identifying day's work and giving the simple strategies to become effective. There will be various tips on how to implement and to get around any barriers. The goals is that you can walk out of the workshop and that very day get you time management under control ... and keep it under control. It's easier than you think! The workshop is September 27th in Basel. For more information www.mybluesky.ch/
