About this Event
This two-module training introduces a practical and reflective approach to improving productivity through implementing efficiency tools and developing an outcome-focused approach to work and life.
By helping people and organisations to make the best use of their time, energy and resources, this programme is designed to support more effective ways of working while contributing to improved wealth building and improved wellbeing across the communities we serve.
