From the field of neuroscience, we have discovered 3 important characteristics of positive, strategic leaders that trump poor leadership: 

1. Positive Leaders have a crystal clear vision which is communicated simply
2. Positive Leaders have a strong value system which creates a framework for safety for people to feel safe to innovate, solve complex problems without fear of failure
3. Positive Leaders are pragmatic optimists – clear that they believe in their people and expect the best from them

Positive leaders are conscious of making time for strategic leadership: planning and preparing for the short term as well as long term.

We all want to know the secret to having more time, staying on top of our never-ending to-do lists and enjoying life more.

THE 3 KEY REASONS we"STRUGGLE WITH JUGGLE"

One: We don't know how to effectively use our Brain!

We have learnt more about how our brain works in the past 15 years than we ever thought was possible.  Our brain is the secret to either helping or hindering us to achieving success.  Do you know how to effectively harness yours or are you at its mercy?

Two: We overestimate how much we can achieve in one day and we underestimate how much we can achieve in a week

We all have 24 hours in a day.  How is it then that successful people seem to get so much more done than the average person.  We simply think we can do more in a daily routine than is possible.  Wouldn't it be great if you could accurately plot and plan your priorities each day so you can create momentum.

Three: We don't use the correct tools that get the job done

A lot of time management programmes talk about the to-do list as being an essential tool to getting organised.  But, far from getting everything done, most people feel like they never get on top of their to-do lists.  The simple reason is that the to-do list is not supposed to help you manage your daily goals, but your weekly or even monthly goals.  How much more could you get done if you used the tools available to you correctly?

Wouldn't it be great to learn how to create the right mindset and effectively use the right tools and rules to bring your time management challenges under control?

Time is stable, it’s dependable. It is the one thing we can all rely on to never let us down.

We all get 168 hours in a week to get done all the things we need to.

And, yet over and over again I hear the same reasons why people don’t implement their learning: "Kerry Anne, I just don't have enough time."

As Jackson H Brown so eloquently wrote:

Don’t say you don’t have enough time.  You were given the same amount of hours that were given to Helen Keller, Henry Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Theresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein

This programme faces the challenge of a lack of time and heavy distractions in this "noisy" world head-on.  We will equip you with the necessary skill-set, tool-set and most importantly, mind-set for conquering your time management challenges so that you can gain greater clarity and focus on your priorities in order to achieve these in the bigger landscape of your strategic leadership role and personal life.

Programme Objectives:

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

1. Create clarity and focus on what really matters to you so that you can adapt your strategies to align with your vision and key priorities
2. Set goals that actually get you moving forward - most goal setting misses the mark when it comes to the process. In this module, we give a fresh and innovative perspective and a step-by-step system to set goals that get achieved
3. Create synergy between personal and your professional goals.
4. Identify and set some all-important boundaries to ensure that other people's priorities and yours don't lead to unnecessary conflict
5. Use 2 effective methods to overcome and move past your bad habits and ensure that you are moving ahead.
6. Leverage daily rituals, routines and habits
7. Leverage focus and pursue persistently and consistently bite size tasks to step by step get you to your goals...
8. Address all the potential time wasters and obstacles that you may already have been experiencing around time management and solutions to these
9. Apply the foundational rules for time management that will set you up for success, if you use them! We share the tenant of emotional intelligence and brain science in the application of these rules which means you have a better chance of success than with normal ways of using time management rules
10. Identify and use 4 super-simple tools for prioritising your time - based on your needs, outcomes and time available
11. Say no when protecting your priorities. We show you how to do this with a 5-step model that's guaranteed to improve your relationships and keep you on track to achieving your goals.

I have always believed in and tried to live my life from a perspective of “The Power of Positive”.  We now know from science that we are 31% more productive in positive than in neutral, negative or stressed.

So, it’ll come as no surprise that my Signature Programmes tie this theme together, whether addressing management or team challenges.

Each of my Signature Programmes in the Power of Positive Series complement each other to form an entire programme. This cohesive framework has been designed to flow from one development topic to the next.
