VET CEO Conference: Managing the Time Manager

We all get precisely 1440 minutes each day (and we’re told we should use a third of these on sleep). The remaining 960 we somehow try to spend wisely between all the things that matter to us, kids, family, exercise, friends, community, leisure, hobbies and of course, running great RTOs.

If the reality of our finite daily bank of precious minutes ticking surely away makes you feel a little uncomfortable, you’re not alone!

In this session, Paul Pellier, Managing Director of Accellier, discusses the strategies he has used to attempt to get more out of these minutes.  He has tried Kanbans, matrices, timers, apps, GTD, lists, 80:20 rules, ‘Eating Frogs,’ ‘blocking,’ more lists, working back late, getting up early, lists of lists…

Yet, despite all these practices, Paul feels that he is still no time-management guru.  He is simply just an RTO CEO in pursuit of excellence and fulfilment of his mission and one who has come to learn (and like most profound lessons, the hard way) that mastering time management means first learning to manage himself.  Paul has grappled with and overcome time-related challenges often, and he knows that those in similar positions do too.

So perhaps it’s worthwhile looking directly at yourselves – the ones doing the time management.

Paul's 90-minute session takes place on 19 May focusing on Managing the Time Manager: The Imperfect Reality of Cultivating Effectiveness.  

During the session Paul will look to technology, philosophy, science and psychology, plus techniques favoured by successful leaders for answers on cultivating effectiveness and overcoming personal challenges around time management.  

You can also send through questions on notice for Paul prior to the session.
