Time Management Workshop

May 16, 2017 by Tiesha

Wednesday, June 28th 9:30 am – 12:30 pm

 About the workshop:

Non-profit organizations staff and volunteers provide heroic levels of help while usually being chronically underfunded and understaffed.  What if each person in your non-profit could double or even triple the amount of work being done while reducing stress and long hours?

In this workshop, time management expert Garland Coulson provides practical techniques to help non-profits and individuals.  Whether you are a non-profit manager, director, employee or volunteer, you will find many powerful tips to transform your working time and to enhance your person life!

 About the facilitator:

Garland Coulson (Captain Time) has spent over 25 years mastering time management. At first, He was determined to learn time management for his own career, but soon found himself helping others wherever he worked. For the last 15 years, he has been a time management speaker trainer and coach, helping thousands of people get more done in less time.

Garland calls time management is the “missing” skill they don’t teach in school or university. No matter how brilliant or talented you are, if you always running out of time, you can’t apply your skills to their fullest.

Time management isn’t just about work. One of the reasons Garland loves to teach time management is so that people have more time for what is important in their life.  Time for family, friends, community and passions. Time just to be a human “be-ing” instead of a human do-ing. More time for those moments that take your breath away…

Enterprise Centre East Boardroom, 900 Alder Street

$35.00 pp for Volunteer Campbell River members, $50. pp for non-members
