MANAGING MULTIPLE PRIORITIES

December 15

Helena

Investment is $85 (discounts for multiple attendees from one organization)

One big effect of the technological workplace seems to be this: whatever the task, everyone wants it now. The public, your coworkers, your boss – they all think that the work you’re doing for them is most important. And it is. That’s why you need to manage multiple priorities. This half-day workshop will give you insight into your mode of dealing with priorities. It will also give you tools to reduce the stress and do your best.
