Time Management Videos from Roger Reece
Below is a selection of clips from recent seminars and workshops highlighting various aspects of time management skills. These clips showcase both the wealth of relevent and useful material contained in Roger's presentations and training modules, as well as Roger's personable and engaging teaching style. These workshops were presented at clients' locations and customized to each client's needs, as is every presentation from Roger Reece Seminars. Roger's programs are well-organized and concise, but always keenly focused on extensive audience participation and dialogue.
Beat Procrastination with a 30-Minute Project Jumpstart
The biggest and most important jobs often fall prey to the worst procrastination. In this clip from a 2011 workshop on time management and stress management, coach and trainer Roger Reece teaches how to beat the Procrastination Habit by dividing a project into a series of clearly-defined tasks. Roger shows how to use a "30-Minute Project Jumpstart" to ignite or reinvigorate stalled projects. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
How to Manage Interruptions at Work
Speaker & trainer Roger Reece teaches how to manage interruptions and avoid getting sidetracked in interactions with other employees at work. Roger introduces the "2-Minute Interrupt Rule," and describes how to use this method to avoid getting derailed by coworkers' interruptions, and improve communication with them at the same time. Using the 2-Minute Interrupt Rule, Roger teaches how to "train" your colleagues, in a positive and effective manner, how to better communicate with you.
Using a Workflow Improvement Plan, and the Lasting Impact of Better Time Management
In this clip from a 2011 training seminar on Time Management & Stress Management, speaker and success coach Roger Reece details the simple, concrete steps to creating a workflow improvement plan, as a tool he uses with clients in one-on-one coaching. This is followed by an appeal to audience members to practice these steps individually, by the lasting impact of better time management skills beyond the work-day into every area of life and through the scope of a lifetime.
Time Management is Not About Information
If, like so many people, you have read one or more books on time management, or have attended time management classes or seminars in the past, you may think you have nothing more to learn on the subject. But time management has nothing to do with what you know - in fact, what you know can hurt you. Don't fall into the trap of mistaking your understanding of the concepts of better time management behaviors as a substitute for the practical, day-to-day work involved in building those behaviors into habits in your life. Knowing is no substitute for doing. Time Management is not about information; it's about your behavior.
Training People (With Negotiation)
Did you know that every day, as you're moving through the day, you are training people? Whether you know it or not - when the people around you are doing things that are irritating to you, if you let them continue to do those things, you are training them to do it. Speaker and coach Roger Reece teaches how to use negotiation to influence the behavior of the people around you. Roger explains and warns about the difference between nagging and negotiating, and demonstrates concrete examples of how both the Federal Aviation Authority and a married couple find effective results from positive use of negotiation.
Can You Negotiate With Your Boss?
Negotiating with your boss is not only possible, it is essential to good time management. Your supervisor expects you to manage your workload, and to work with him or her to maintain an accurate and clearly-defined measure of output and expectations. Negotiating with your boss simply means having a conversation with them; taking just a few minutes, even in urgent situations, to share the details of your schedule and priorities, and to work together to balance these with your boss's expectations, can make a crucial difference - both in how your success as an employee is perceived, and in your own job satisfaction.
Learn To Delegate
Learning to delegate is a vitally-important component of good time management. Delegating is an important skill for any employee to develop: delegation is not just for supervisors, and delegation is different than dumping. Put simply, delegation involves asking somebody for help. But asking for help can be hard to do. Many people avoid delegation out of a fear of showing weakness or an inability to perform. Also, real delegation involves training and valuable time, not to mention a certain amount of letting go of control. But proper practice of delegation yields significant rewards: reduced stress, increased productivity, and ultimately, a better chance at job promotion.
