Up to 10 delegates at £550 for the intense 3 hour session. Ideally followed by bespoke one-to-one phone coaching to embed new habits.
The course is designed for professionals who battle with large workloads, a high amount of deadlines and unforeseeable work which is hard to prioritise. For individuals who need to protect their concentration, minimise stress and increase their time available.
This course will benefit the participants by profiling them so that their self awareness rises, and indeed their understanding of their colleagues’ behavioural traits and drivers both at core and under stress. They will be introduced to the system of setting SMARTER goals, which is not only motivational but leads to easy prioritisation and organisational productivity. A raft of time management techniques and organisational tips will be shared for executives to road test for themselves
"Excellent. I came away very motivated and am re-training myself as a result! Great to hear someone who understands the issues we face and offer suggestions to overcoming them. Can see lots of things that we can do to improve our time management. Informative and thought provoking."Giddy
"All valuable, relevant, tried, tested and effective techniques."Tommy
"Liked the personality analysis on a personal level and also interesting to see how to best communicate with my team according to their analyses."Lucy
"It provided interesting insight into some working methodologies and made me examine my professional issues."Shaun
"Extremely valuable to understand my personality traits and mindset, and how this influences my work and work with others. This allowed me to understand how I can work better, and has given me greater awareness of my colleagues and how they work."Sian
"Great manner at explaining techniques, broken down in a clear, easy to understand way."Kate
"A definite eye opener. The personality profiling was brilliant."Mike
"It’s easy to think you know about time management but there were some really good techniques to make sure we got the most out of our time and to feel more motivated about what we achieve."Em
"Very interesting. I like assessing my personality in a simplified way and learning how to exploit my strengths and lessen the effects of weaknesses when I don’t have time to do this normally! As a result my task management will improve and I shall start to exploit my strengths."Brad Roberts
"The profiling helps open your eyes as to your own personality, and the personality of your colleagues, key to making things happen faster and more easily. I start by eating a frog every morning and reply to any email I read rather than putting it on the waiting list. I now intend to pay more attention to establishing where my time is most productive and utilising my best time of day for such tasks."Falilou Diallo
"Useful to see how coping traits change at work and under pressure. I enjoyed the prioritising tips and will organise my priorities better as a result."Lynda Rice
"Very revealing in understanding good and bad habits in work."Trevor Gamesby
"Really useful, practical advice delivered with a good teaching style. Useful to understand different types of people and how they react to different stimuli and pressures along with practical tips on improvement. I expect to plan and organise myself better now."Parry Jones
"Very revealing! I intend to prioritise better and not to let email distract me any more."Rob Heard
"Uncannily informative – lots of new insights. Psychometric profile useful in indentifying why I become distracted and consequently enabling me to prevent this recurring. Very useful and interesting perspective on time management issues. I shall no longer read emails as they are received!"Anon

I offer a full money back guarantee if you do not feel you have benefitted by the coaching programme as long as the goals set are within the client's control as, e.g. work/life balance would be.
We were extremely impressed with the content of Diana’s seminar and subsequently invested in 5 sessions so that every company member could reap the benefits, and are offering the whole team a follow-up session. Since the workshops encouraging changes have been made and project teams have been created to address other issues that were identified. Mixing the groups up was beneficial to mutual understanding.

I was called to the Bar in 1998 specialise in clinical negligence and personal injury claims.
When I started working with Diana I had some terrible work habits. I would generally work late every week night and always worked at least one day each weekend. Working late meant that I would eat late and therefore I would go to bed late, as a result of which I was chronically sleep deprived and hopelessly inefficient. With Diana, I have gradually replaced each time wasting or procrastinating habit with new tools and techniques that have given me a social life and the time to achieve other personal goals. I know that I am not alone in this.
The bar is full of stressed, tired, individuals, struggling to work efficiently in an environment that is largely without structure. Unfortunately, this often means working long hours, inefficiently, and losing all control over work/life balance. In short, this is a profession in real need of Diana’s help.

Ironically enough, I even found it hard to find the time to sit down with Diana, however once I did it really changed my life. The one-to-one coaching enabled me to look at my work life balance and realise that I am not superwoman and that something had to be done to create a balance. Since our session I have put the discussed criteria into place and have seen a huge change. I feel more in control, I have expanded my horizons and realised ambitions, and all those around me seem happier - husband and children included. I highly recommend going through such a process, it is truly enlightening.

Diana's perceptive questioning and exercises enabled me to discover what was draining me and to rewrite my day to achieve as much but have more personal time. This restored my work life balance, which in turn increased my productivity and eliminated my feelings of stress.
