Course Outline

Description

Time Management
No matter what your station in life is, we all have equal amounts of one thing - Time. However, some people accomplish many things with that time, and some people accomplish fewer things with that same amount of time. Some of this can be chalked up to desire, but much can be chalked up to how well people manage the time that they have available. This course will train you on how to avoid time wasting traps that many fall into, and guide you through finding the core principles that work best for your personality type and circumstances. Perhaps most importantly, it will also help you to tap into the desire that motivates successful people.

• Combine these skills to lower their stress levels and motivate themselves.

Course Description

Goal Setting is the fundamental cornerstone for success in anything you choose to do. If you don't know what your goal is, you can never know if you have succeeded at your undertaking. Goal setting sets the groundwork for so many other business skill sets. It is the foundation for time management, for motivation, for direction - for success. Yet few people really know how to set worthwhile goals; fewer still know how to commit to those or how to accomplish them. Other people have so many goals that they are unclear on how to rate or prioritize them.
This course will show you how to avoid the pitfalls of poor goal setting habits and how to set worthwhile objectives that can be measured and achieved.

It was hard to see the instructors screen. It was a projector that was turned toward a white board.

Jason Hall is fantastic and I look forward to taking another course with him. My last experience at New Era was not great; the instructor did not meet our expectations and the computers were not working when we arrived. But Jason made the day fly by and I felt like I learned not only the set curriculum but gained lots of additional presentation skills.

The trainer was very knowledgeable and kept the course moving at a great pace. I wish I could take her home with me, so she could help me teach photoshop at the school I work at.

The course was very helpful and the instructor was very knowledgable and made the effort to make sure all class members were understanding the excersizes and were on the same page. My only complaint is that the computers seemed a little worn out. Throughout the day most students in the class ran into some sort of issue with the computer not working the way it should. And during our practice time closer to the end of the day all the computers started crashing.

The course was excellent, but I felt a little out of my league. The participants in the course were designers and IT people who had used other versions of SharePoint. While I benefited from their questions and comments during the class, I feel "lost" now that I'm back on my own at the office. Perhaps I was in the wrong coarse, but it did say power "user".

Very good - presented course material in an engaging way.

Reviewed by Claudine T. 2011

   

The instructor didn't provide a lot of structure to the class, he just skimmed through the material and didn't go into it very deep. As a result, the class finished up 1.5 h early as well. He tried to add material from PMI (which was missing from the course materials) but this sometimes just made things more confusing. The PMI material should really be in the course material to start with. Otherwise, the instructor was helpful, knowledgeable and had a good demeanor.

Very good course with a very knowledgeable instructor. Class was at full occupancy and I felt that the class size was too large.

Reviewed by Amanda B. 2011

   

There were only 4 students so it went fast and we finished early. Personally I would have liked to spend more time practicing. Perhaps some reference to the book and if there were any practice exercises in there that we could use to gain more experience with Visio.

The course started 40 minutes late because they did not have the correct computers set up for the program. It's like they were not even expecting us. I found it very disorganized. For the price I paid for this course, I expected a more professional presentation.
