The Don Ryan Center for Innovation will be hosting a free Zoom webinar to address one of the biggest issues facing workers today: time management.  As people today balance the increased challenges of today’s changed workplace, and with more and more people working from home, time management has become a critical issue for many – and this Zoom webinar will present participants with tips, tricks and proven strategies for time management today.

The free interactive webinar, “Take Back Your Time: Increase Productivity, Decrease Stress, and Balance Your Life”  will take place on Thursday, November 12th from 8 a.m. – 9 a.m. and will be led by David Nelems, VP of Innovation at the DRCI.  Throughout his career, David has provided his insight and advice to more than 150 companies, helping them put crucial time management strategies into place that helped to launch and grow businesses, and helping entrepreneurs/small business owners learn important time management skills.  

“Starting or running a business is hard, especially in today’s times, and keeping up with everything you need to do is often very, very difficult,” says Nelems.  “However, there are a number of things you can, and should, be doing to best manage your time so that you can get everything you need done at work, plus have time for a life outside of work, as well.” 

After this webinar, participants will know:

• How to be proactive rather than reactive in getting things done

• How to think about your to-do list

• How to schedule yourself for maximum efficiency

• How to get it all done and not go crazy

• And much more!
