October Business Month: Why Self-Management is More Important than Time-Management

Australia is the burnout capital of the world.
A recent global survey found that 82% of Australian workers report feeling burnt out, compared with a global average of just 48%.
And closer to home, a Beyond Blue poll revealed that 1 in 2 Australians experienced workplace burnout in the past year.
The pressure is relentless: endless to-do lists, competing priorities, and little time to recover. No wonder so many are running on empty.
But here’s the truth: it’s not time management that will save you. It’s self-management.
It’s time to shift your focus to what you can actually control.
Join Catie Kirke for a half-day, practical, real-world workshop designed to strengthen your self-management toolbox and help you navigate the relentless pressures, time constraints, and endless to-do lists that come with modern life.
You’ll be introduced to Catie’s magic pill for self-management: Perspective. Priorities. Perspiration. Perseverance.
A proven October Business Month favourite, this session combines two of our most popular mini-workshops into one extended experience, responding directly to participant feedback. You asked for more time and deeper content, and we’ve delivered. This longer format allows for more hands-on strategies, personal reflection, and real-time application of the tools.
If you want to explore stress management, emotion regulation, and resilience in more depth, our full-day Emotional Intelligence Resilience workshop is the next step.
But if you’re ready for a clear, doable starting point? This is it.
In this half-day workshop, you will:
• Worry less by focusing on what’s within your circle of influence
• ‘Put your own oxygen mask on first’ – set boundaries and build confidence to say no
• Advocate for your needs and reset your work-life balance
• Understand the root causes of stress and overwhelm
• Break the cycle of stress and burnout with practical mindset and behaviour shifts
• Explore the biggest mistakes people make with time management
• Use timeless tools to take back control of your time
• Identify your top time wasters and interrupt unhelpful habits
Whether you’re stuck in reactive mode, running on empty, or juggling too much for too long, this half-day reset is for you.
