Are You Overworked or Just Overwhelmed?Most people can handle longer hours; it's everything else competing for your attention that leaves you feeling overwhelmed. Once you're overwhelmed, a feeling of being overworked can quickly follow. This program offers space, time, and stress management techniques that most people have never considered and innovative methods for daily effectiveness that anyone can master.
How to Create More Space and Time in Your LifeHow would you like to have more time for friends or hobbies, or to get away for more weekend trips? Merely living today and participating in society guarantee that both your time and mental, physical, and emotional energy will easily be depleted if you lack the proper vantage point from which to approach each day and conduct your life. Learn the principles for creating the space and time you want to have, and add back the fun!
Choosing When It's Confusing: How to Make Decisions More EffectivelyToday, for whatever you want or need to acquire, there are more brands, features, and options than you can comfortably fathom. And tomorrow there will be more options competing for your attention. Yet you can make decisions without collisions! Even if you are confronted with a bewildering number of alternatives, here's welcome news about choice strategies. This session explores the process of quickly making your best choice.
Managing Information and Communication OverloadData, data everywhere but not a thought to think! Does too much paper, too much reading, and too much with which to keep pace diminish your enjoyment of life? If so, go from glut to gain. Learn how to win with information and not be deluged by it. Discover how to become your own information highway, use information for maximum gain, and keep the din at a manageable level so you can spend more time doing the things you enjoy. This program is for organizations whose managers and staff members face a daily glut of too much competing for their time and attention, and offers essential tools for continual improvement.
How to Manage Multiple PrioritiesThis is an era of belt-tightening where shrinking budgets are part of a long-term, not a cyclical, phenomenon. Many career professionals today are asked and expected to do more while not being afforded any greater organizational resources; such efforts can take their toll. Learn breakthrough processes in managing multiple priorities, including hand tools, power tools, and cerebral tools; the multiple-priority grid system; techniques for conditioning your environment; and other methods that enable you to achieve notable results.
Managing the Pace With GraceIs today's typical working American overworked, underworked, energetic or lazy? The best answer is "none of the above." The root of the time-pressure we feel and the leisure we lack is not "too much work". There are larger, more basic, converging issues. We can handle longer hours; it's everything else competing for our attention that leaves us feeling overwhelmed. Once you are overwhelmed, feeling overworked can quickly follow. You can, however, maintain the pace with grace--even under pressure! This program is action-packed. Jeff lays out Breathing Space strategies and techniques for effectiveness that anyone can quickly master. For any organization seeking highest-level, on-going education. (Presentation materials include Breathing Space book, slides/overheads, workbooks, quizzes, and bonus items.)
Speaker Information
Moving an audience like few others, Jeff Davidson offers dynamic presentations that offer outstanding content presented with humor, flair, and inspiration. Specializing in helping people manage information and communication overload, Davidson teaches his audiences to operate at a comfortable pace while remaining competitive and profitable. During his career, he has helped tens of thousands of career professionals in nearly 700 organizations attain a greater sense of control over each day. Within the healthcare industry, he has assisted service administrators, doctors, nurses, and support staff from all across the country.
People often find themselves at a loss when dealing with the overwhelming array of tasks and responsibilities they face, even after years of using "time management" techniques. It is a long-held notion that time management provides the guidelines necessary to be effective. However, as Davidson explains, time management precepts, conceived nearly a century ago, do not address the daily complexities, multiple priorities, and real-world dilemmas that we all face today.
Particularly in healthcare, too many people end up working excessively long hours, performing far less effectively than they are able, not rising in their careers, or enduring ill health - all rather costly outcomes for their organizations as well as themselves. Through his presentations, Davidson offers fresh perspectives and new approaches to overcoming these daily pressures, supercharging participants to take action in their own lives.
Speaking professionally since 1983 to organizations, associations, healthcare providers, and government agencies, Davidson is known for his extraordinarily high content, quick wit, and inspirational style. Offering fresh perspectives and new approaches to overcoming life's daily pressures, he supercharges his audiences to take action. Invited for return engagements with many groups, he's received 850 letters of praise from meeting professionals and audience members across the country.
Davidson has been frequently quoted in USA Today, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times and has appeared on hundreds of talk shows. He is the author of the groundbreaking book, Breathing Space: Living and Working at a Comfortable Pace in a Sped-Up Society, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Managing Your Stress, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Reaching Your Goals, and The Joy of Simple Living, the definitive work on simpler living offering nearly 2,000 tips arranged by every aspect of one's life.
In 1995, Davidson launched the Breathing Space Institute, based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The Institute is dedicated to helping organizations and individuals through a variety of learning tools, keynote speeches, and seminar presentations.
