- We will meet in March, April, May & June in person & by teleconference*.
- During the first week of each month, we will meet in The Business Class Room (at the Chamber of Commerce) for a 1 ½ - 2 hour session. The purpose of these sessions will be to introduce productivity concepts and tools that will help you uncover and remove or get through obstacles so that you can make it happen…whatever “it” is!
- During the second and third week of each month, we will meet by telephone for 45-60 minutes. Purpose: to report progress on action plans, problem solve obstacles and cheer results.
- Each group member will receive a 3-ring binder full of tips, articles, worksheets, checklists, planning templates and other tools to be used during and between sessions.
- Between sessions, group members will receive reminders and support materials to help maintain focus and energy so they get the results they want.
- In addition, group members:
- will have free access to an online time management assessment (March-June ‘08).
- can sign up for one-on-one coaching sessions during special office hours at a reduced rate (March - June ’08).
- will be given the opportunity to participate in future groups at a reduced rate.
- can sign up for a continuity program at a reduced rate.
PLUS…there will be loads of positive energy moving in all directions -
to, from, between - all the members of the group!
*Note: if you are interested in such a group but can only participate by telephone, send an e-mail to request information about future telephone-only groups.

Here are a few comments.
Jennifer Drolet, staff member at UNC- Chapel Hill: I was very impressed with your presentation, and even noted on the evaluation that it was the best training and development class I'd taken. You did a great job of eliciting suggestions and keeping responses on track.Beth Sauer, Staff Member, UNC- Chapel Hill: I absolutely enjoyed the class yesterday. Got a lot of great ideas and will definitely try to put some in place here in my office. Thanks again for such an enlightening class.
Catherine Willis, Staff Member, UNC- Chapel Hill: It was a great class. I told my employees that it was one of the few classes I had attended that I really felt I came away with the determination that I could change the outcome of how things work (at my desk). Thanks for a worthwhile afternoon.

More on the material to be shared.......
first of all...it is great!
I’ve used it numerous times when I was overloaded or discouraged.
Each time, it got me "out of trouble" and helped me get more focused, more directed,
more effective.
Is it easy to stay that way?
No!
But these tools make it easier. I cannot imagine what life would be like without them!
I’ve shared the material with many other people ( in one-on-one coaching sessions and in large groups) and it has helped them too. See comments above.
So I have no doubt that it will be helpful for you.
But - this particular group format IS new -
along with some of the communication tools we will be using.
In some ways we are charting new territory and that makes you charter members.
I’m doing everything up front I can think of to make it a smooth journey....
and I promise to continue to do that.
Things like making sure the group members are right for the group.
So that each group member gets what he/she hopes to get by joining it.
Things like asking for feedback all along the way.
There are sure to be some bumps along the way.
And for that reason, I’m offering lots of special rewards to those who join this group.
