The 5 Choices to Extraordinary Productivity program is built on ideas and evidence-based practices accumulated over many decades by the field's leading productivity researchers and practitioners. This FranklinCovey seminar, delivered through AMA, provides you with the tools and strategies you need to maximize your workplace productivity and achieve exceptional results.
For most professionals, the demands and pressures of our work can feel overwhelming. When combined with the constant influx of distracting information and competing priorities, our lives can become physically and mentally exhausting. Without careful consideration and wise discernment about these demands, our thinking becomes muddled, and our ability to make sound decisions about what truly matters is diminished. As a result, the professional and personal goals that matter most often get overlooked, delayed, or remain unaccomplished.
This productivity seminar integrates cutting-edge neuroscience research with timeless productivity principles to help you manage your decisions, attention, and personal energy more effectively. You will learn how to apply a practical system, which leverages Microsoft Outlook, to dramatically increase your capacity to achieve your most important life outcomes. Through consistently making choices that create exceptional value for yourself and your organization, you will experience not only a measurable increase in productivity but also renewed engagement and a greater sense of accomplishment in your work.
To maximize your learning experience in this course, please bring your laptop computer to practice the techniques hands-on.
