Time Management for Accountants & Lawyers - Putting it into Practice

Introduction

“Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone will determine how that coin will be spent. Be careful that you do not let other people spend it for you.” - Carl Sandburg (Pulitzer Prize winner)

Are you focusing on what really matters, including responding to clients and hitting your chargeable hours’ targets? Are you using your time effectively?

Despite the fact that time is perhaps the most sought-after resource available for our use, many of us are poor at spending it wisely - or could improve how we spend it, both personally and professionally.

This practical and interactive Learn Live course will explore your personal motivations for improving your time management - and the benefits of doing so for both you and your employer or business.

It will provide you with a range of time management skills to better manage yourself, your colleagues and your environment, increasing your efficiency, productivity and profitability and helping you to develop a better work/life balance.

If you choose this course, it will be time well spent.
