Hi

I have been a management consultant, executive coach, and management trainer for the past 24 years. My area of expertise is time management.

1. In my career, I have worked with the senior executive teams of 9 blue chip companies to help them to arrive "on the same page", in terms of where the company is headed and how it will get there. This is time management, in its broadest sense, for an entire company in as much as it determines the focus of executive team members collectively and individually and therefore the focus of the entire business. It determines what they spend their time and energy doing.
2. In my career, I have coached 23 CEOs of blue chip companies on where to focus their personal time and energy to add the greatest value to their companies based upon the current needs of their company. I have also individually coached more than 300 senior executives, who report to CEOs, of blue chip companies on their personal executive focus.
3. Earlier in my career, I personally delivered time management training to more than 2000 managers in blue chip companies. I also delivered this training to managers and staff in smaller companies.

I believe that my experience qualifies me to speak and to write on the subject of time management, as an authority of sorts.

The subject of time management is much more than just learning a bunch of tips. It has to do with understanding what is important to you in your life. It has to do with your personal desires and wishes, and achieving them. It has to do with understanding how the tasks you are trying to get done on a daily, weekly and monthly basis relate to what is important to you.

You will not achieve this by doing one time management course, just as you would not expect to become good at managing relationships by doing just one course. Can you imagine becoming proficient at relationship management with your wife or husband, children, friends, work colleagues, and customers by doing just one course? There is much to know about managing relationships.

Similarly there is much to know about time management. It has to do with understanding yourself and your relationship with time. Time management techniques that are suitable for a certain chapter of your life will fail abysmally in other chapters of your life. The time management techniques that I teach to a junior manager work well for junior managers, but they will not serve that person well when they become a middle manager. The techniques that serve a middle manager well will not suit a senior manager. Different roles require a different application of time management.

I believe that the subject of time management affects the lives of every person, except the very young and those who have retired and do not have many things that they must do. It affects
A. Men who are busy working to support their families and who, in so doing, may not be giving enough time to the family.
B. Women who are working and also managing the household.
C. Women who are exclusively managing the household and the needs of their children.
D. Entrepreneurs who are trying to build a business.
E. Adults who are trying to balance the time they spend with immediately family members, extended family members and with friends.
F. Students and the results that they achieve.
G. Teenagers who are trying to manage their social lives and balance the demands and wishes of friends.

Failure to feel in control of your time induces stress.

I hope that I can provide you with some information that will help you to improve your time management.

All the best,

Jay
