Is your day filled with business or 'busyness'?

Is your day filled with business or busyness?

The life of a manager, CEO, and/or business owner comes with many rewards – it’s exciting, full of responsibility and challenge. It can also be stressful and time consuming.  And now, more than ever, people are looking to maximise returns on effort and work smarter rather than harder. 

Gone are the days where you earn kudos for working long hours, taking your laptop on holidays with you, and juggling so many things in a day you don’t have time to eat.  Instead, it’s the people who have found the secret to achieving at work while balancing home and family time, that tend to be the envy of the ‘worker bees’.  If you’re keen to get on the fast track to better returns for your time and effort, it might be time to consider some expert coaching advice on how you can make this happen for you too.

This session with Tamara Simon offers some gentle reminders and useful insights about business versus busyness. There’s nothing wrong with being busy, but it has to be the right kind of busy.  We all know time is money, and this session can help you re-focus, step back to work on, rather than in your business, and continue toward peak performance and the rewards that come from success.
