Sacrificing family for work?

Struggling with time management?
Does your calendar feel like it’s running five different people's schedules? Are you late to meetings, skipping lunch, or overwhelmed by the day-to-day grind?

TESTIMONIALS
Amanda R - First Time Manager
Social Work Entity
I learned how to apply all of this to this part of my world which I just haven't done before. It's just a feeling I got out of it. I guess. Maybe I just didn't understand my worth as a supervisor, like realizing that people do look to me for leadership and guidance. I just don't think that I had put myself there until this. So I have really taken a lot out of it. I could relate to so much and not even just at work, but like a home life. This kind of relates to all sorts of areas of life. Thank you!.
Sean Q - Company Owner

I didn’t expect the class to be so polished. I will never make that mistake again. Also never expected it to work on cognitive reconditioning. Pretty unique stuff from the various platforms I’ve tried and am trying. I would have committed more students from the get go if I had had any idea
Khira M - Program Director for Non-Profit Organization
Before, I just kind of felt like sometimes I didn’t feel like a manager and then people would make comments to me like you're the big boss or something like that and it was strange. My biggest takeaway is the confidence building that I am doing the right things, and that I have areas to grow in and continue to move in. And this has given me guidance which directs the way a little more. And I also got more confidence, and shaking that imposter feeling and stuff like that. It’s been a metamorphosis for me.
