Training Courses
How to prevent overload, or deal effectively with it if it happens.
Many managers and staff feel overloaded, having to do more with less. Their workload is often too high, or they have insufficient time or skills to meet increasing competition or customer expectations. These workshops will look at managing both the demand and supply side of overload, and the key skills, tools and techniques to minimise overload, or effectively manage the stress that overload can create.
Managing Overload Workshop Content
How to prevent being overwhelmed by overload by managing your workload more effectively or managing the pressures that overload creates.
Set helpful boundaries, say no and stop being a perfectionist
Do you take on too much, partly because you find it difficult to say no - ore perhaps you are a perfectionist?
Be better at prioritising and managing your time
Let's be honest - there's never enough time...so we have to be good at managing the time we've got - and that means being good at prioritising your work and time spend
Use key tools & tips for reducing your workload
Do you delegate? Can you reschedule? Do you prevaricate? Is it less to do with how much work you have, and more to do with how efficiently you manage it?
Effectively manage the pressure that overload creates
If some level of overload is inevitable, then what matters most is how you manage your mindset, motivation and mood.

Never 'death by powerpoint'
We always provide a variety of learning approaches in each of our workshops.
Each workshop typically includes learning input from the trainer, supported by a range of mixed media, interactive elements, discussion and group work. Most workshops also include case work and practical skill-development activities to apply the learning, with more time dedicated to this in the longer courses.
'Want more?' resource pack
In addition to providing a copy of any slide deck, we always provide a ‘want more’ section, of curated resources including book summaries, podcasts, downloads and articles.

Managing Overload Frequently Asked Quesitons
Isn't overload inevitable these days?
Probably - so it's particularly important to be able to bring any such overload down to a minimum, and prevent or deal effectively with any stress it produces.
How much of overload is down to circumstance or personal factors?
Both can play a significant part, and these courses will examine how much is down to you or to other factors; but either way, how you manage such overload then depends on you...
Can there be an 'overload culture'?
That's possible - for instance, gaining points (at least apparently) for being first into the office and last to leave...and if this is the case, then the problem is not overload, but culture...
Which of these courses should I take first?
If you only have one option, then the full day course will provide the most comprehensive overview of the causes and consequences of overload, what you can do to minimise such overload, and how to manage any stress that overload creates. And having covered all this in the morning, the afternoon is devoted to running a number of scenarios to put the learning into practice.
