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.

Genuinely one of the best training sessions I have attended!
I can honestly say the training sessions delivered by Martin were one of the most valuable professional development experiences I’ve had. Martin has a rare ability to truly understand the needs of his audience and tailor his training accordingly — nothing felt generic or off-the-shelf. He covered some of the most essential skills in leadership, including conflict resolution and how to deliver constructive feedback in a way that motivates rather than demoralises — and he did so in a way that was practical, relatable, and immediately applicable. His delivery is engaging, his knowledge is exceptional, and he breaks down concepts in a way thay makes it easy to grasp and put into action. The concepts he taught are things I’ll carry with me and apply throughout my career. I cannot rate the training content and Martin as a trainer highly enough!
Management Team Training
Martin was incredibly insightful and helpful to myself and the other managers currently establishing our new QA team / Function. His guided discussions proved beneficial in allowing us to identify issues and points that needed addressing that were not on our radar and immediately we have already seen the benefit of applying his teachings in our day to day management of our team. Thank you very much Martin
Well conducted workshop with intended results
Martin filled the role of educator with marvellous presence and sensitivity. The material was well prepared, and he did a wonderful job of evoking participation with the group. I found the workshop to be meaningful and effective in improving team communication and enforcing a collaboratively established definition of what assertiveness means in our company culture.
Professional Business Communication Training
The session provided genuinely helpful tips on how to engage with different personality types and offered a deeper understanding of effective communication in a corporate environment. I walked away with some excellent tools and practical pointers to put into practice. The mix of real-life examples and scenario-based exercises really made us reflect on our own communication styles. It was the most engaging and helpful training session I’ve attended. Very engaging and informative, no reading off slides, and the time flew by.
I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their client communication skills.
