Course Description

How do we get work done? Some believe it’s as simple as creating a “to do” list … but most realize that there is much more to it than that. In this interactive workshop, we will explore and exercise all of the components of getting stuff done, from setting realistic goals to managing execution and all points in between. Borrowing from researching in neuroscience, behavioral economics, and project management, we will guide you through how to apply best practice tools on how to “chunkify” your work, create milestones and measures, set and maintain accountability methods, and control expectations by “managing up” and re-prioritizing.
