Philadelphia Area Invitiation

I will be speaking in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Convention Center for a day long presentation on Sunday June 3, 2007. The topic will be "Time Management in Age of Turbulence" delivered to 65 industrial hygenists.

If you're in the area, feel free to attend even if for 20 or 30 minutes. I promise the trip will be personally and professionally rewarding for you!


Here is the complete course description:

Time Management in an Age of Turbulence with Jeff Davidson
Everywhere you look, there are career professionals concerned with too much work, and not enough time. They are struggling with what is needed to manage the pace, stay competitive, and maintain worklife balance. The reality of our times is that everyone is feeling at least a little unsure of himself and, in that sense, everyone is in the same boat. Even management guru Tom Peters says it's normal to be confused!

In this day-long presentation, mega-author and professional speaker Jeff Davidson gets right to the heart of the matter and asks: "Are you running your life... ...or is your life running you?" Are you striving hard to meet stringent demands, tight deadlines, and awesome responsibilities with a lack of budget and staff resources? Are you wearing too many hats and perhaps not doing any one task as well as you could?

This course is vital because ever-increasing change is here to stay. With all that's happened in the world, in industrial hygiene, and in technology, it's not likely that business or society in general will soon return to a time when the pace of life moves along at an even keel. Outsourcing and downsizing are not temporary phenomena. Outside consultants face dwindling contract work opportunities while corporate professionals face too much work. Concerns abound about injury/exposure to the workforce as a result of cutbacks.

The nature of our times dictates that each of us be more fluid and more open to new procedures and systems for effectiveness in the workplace and beyond. Drawing upon his book, "Breathing Space," and many of his other books, Jeff Davidson will discuss how to "Manage in an Age of Turbulence" and will include such issues as handling rapid change, managing information and communication overload, managing multiple priorities, and, against all odds, relaxing at high speed. Topic Agenda:

1) Change is Inevitable Except from a Vending Machine
