Tuesday, June 8, 2010 – 19H00-21H30 at KPMG

We all have 168 hours a week. Why is it that some people get an enormous amount done without breaking a sweat, while others never seem to get what they want, yet they are always tired?

For our last meeting of the season, we revisit the topic of Time Management with Pat Brans, of “Master the Moment” – http://master-the-moment.com/, who will talk to us about setting priorities, sticking to them, and turning down what’s not in line with your priorities.

Pat Brans provides corporate training on time management and personal effectiveness. He has held senior positions with three large organizations
(Computer Sciences Corporation, Hewlett-Packard, and Sybase). Most of Brans’ corporate experience focused on applying technology to enhance workforce effectiveness. Now he takes productivity to another level by unveiling the secrets of high achievers.

Note: this presentation will be preceded by our Annual General Meeting (for details see previous post).
