“Speed has its place in the modern world. Often you have to move quickly, particularly at work. The problem is that speed has become a way of life. We do everything in a rush. We are stuck in fast forward and that is unhealthy.” In Praise of Slow - Carl Honoré
The “Slow” philosophy is not about doing everything at a snail’s pace. It’s about seeking to do everything at the most appropriate speed. Savouring the hours and minutes rather than just counting them. Doing everything as well as possible, instead of as fast as possible.
In this “SLOW Productivity” workshop you will get the opportunity to challenge your own beliefs about your chosen speed of living and make adjustments where you see fit. You will also get many practical tips on how to apply the “SLOW Productivity” mind-set to the everyday things you do like emails, meetings, delegation, conversations, work/life balance and more.
You leave the workshop with fresh insights and an executable plan to slow down to speed up.
