A message from the Director!
Time Management is critical for the success of your business.
Recently Andrea Barbknecht, SRC Outreach Coordinator, presented a training on Time Management to a group of City of Canton employees.
Benefits of Time Management include greater productivity and efficiency, a better professional reputation, less stress, increased opportunities for advancement, and greater opportunities to achieve important life and career goals.
Training participants were asked, “What were the most positive aspects of this course for you?” A few comments included: “How to prioritize so I don’t feel overwhelmed,” “Learning how to organize my time,” and “Learning how to better plan my day.”
One student commented, “Andrea did a fantastic job—fun, interesting, and informative, nice interjections of media throughout. Very well presented.”
Contact the Office of Community Outreach if you are interested in Time Management training, or other specialized training, for you or your business. You can find us online at www.src.edu/outreach and on Facebook @srccommunityoutreach.
Have a great March!
