time management for managers training

Time management for managers training

It is always possible to become more efficient in how we organise ourselves and our work.

Time management for manager training can help you to become more efficient, develop a sense of managing tasks rather than them managing you and lower stress levels.

The ITD approach to time management skills is to look for the underlying causes of time issues. We also explore behaviours that can create pressures on ourselves. The workshop focuses on each individual’s approach to work and how this can unlock opportunities to be more time efficient.

There are also a range of very straight forward tips which can have a high impact on time management skills. In our experience no single approach works for every individual. In a typical ITD workshop we work with your people to find the best solution for them, so that each participant leaves with a n umber of specific actions to improve their efficiency.

Presenting with Impact Virtually

August 25, 2025

I recently attended the “Presenting with Impact Virtually” training workshop led by Martin Chapman, and it was a thoroughly engaging and practical experience. Martin’s delivery was professional yet friendly, making the virtual format feel interactive and enjoyable. The session was well-structured, with clear slides and practical examples. I highly recommend his training services for anyone looking to improve their presentation skills in a virtual setting.

Comprehensive and Engaging Training

July 25, 2025

I recently attended Martin’s ‘Working Effectively’ and ‘Professional Business Communication’ online training sessions and both were excellent. Martin is very engaging and ensures that participants all contribute to discussion. The sessions were very useful, drawing on real anecdotes and scenarios relevant to our level of work. I found both training sessions impactful and will carry the lessons learned into my work. Thanks Martin!

Working Effectively at Clifford Chance - Martin Chapman

I attended this session delivered by Martin and found it very insightful and engaging. Martin shared very realistic scenarios which required us to challenge how we would respond and the impact of different ways of saying things. A very interactive session and it was easy to remain engaged. I took away a lot from it

Martin is a fantastic trainer and easy to talk to. He makes the course easy to process and allows plenty of time to discuses anything you need clarifying. The course has been designed well and was adaptable to make it more relevant and personal to meet my target needs I was hoping to achieve.

I would recommend anyone to sign up for a course with Martin based of my personal experience and I look forward to working with him again within the future
