Practical exercises
(included in 90-min and Half Day sessions)
- Prioritization exercise: Participants will be given a list of tasks and asked to prioritize them based on importance and deadline. They will then create a schedule for completing these tasks and reflect on any challenges or strategies they used in the process.
- Time management exercise: Participants will be given a scenario where they have a fixed amount of time to complete a set of tasks. They will be asked to use their prioritization skills to determine which tasks are the most important and allocate their time accordingly.
- Delegation exercise: Participants will be given a list of tasks and asked to identify which ones they could delegate to someone else. They will then practice delegating these tasks to a team member and reflect on the process.
Frameworks
(included in Half-Day sessions)
