In her new audio seminar series, personal development coach, chartered accountant and NLP practitioner Carol McLachlan offers top tips for maximising your professional and personal productivity.

The chances are, 2009 is still ushering in a host of new challenges, complexities and unprecedented change, not just in the economy but for you in your own role. As pressure intensifies and stakeholder demands increase, the time has come to take a step back. What worked for you in 2007 and 2008 probably won't cut it in 2009. It's time for a new approach and new thinking to deal with a rapidly changing landscape. You need to achieve more with the same, or with even less resource. You need time leverage.

What can I learn?

Forget time management. The 21st century's demands and challenges call for a completely different way of thinking about time. Download my audio seminar and learn:

  • How time leverage is much more than working 'smarter'
  • Why what you do is infinitely more important that how you do it
  • Why the most efficient accountants can also be the least successful

This audio series was recorded in partnership with Insight Marketing as part of the monthly Practice Builder, an exclusive monthly audio programme for accountancy firms, using the most innovative tools and techniques to keep you on track in a challenging market to achieve and sustain profitable growth.

Carol McLachlan FCA helps accountants solve problems, at home and at work. From work/life balance and time management, to assertiveness, communication skills and career planning, she draws on her long career in practice and training as a coach and NLP pracitioner

Time Leveraging
Actually, I agree, it's a naff title probably thought up for sale to a large conglomerate, however, it's a good reminder of the basics about questioning what you are doing and why. I've previously used (I think Edward Lear's) Six Honest Serving Men - What, Where, How, When, Who and Why? You may have to ask the why question several times (especially in a small business and upwards) to get to a core reason, and really start to get to the tasks that don't need doing.

Six Honest Serving Men

Dear Ann

The six honest serving men were invented by Rudyard Kipling, I think. Same vintage. They taught me all I know...
