Join the Association of Apprentices for this month’s Masterclass of the Month: Time on Your Side — a practical session designed to help you take control of your workload, improve productivity and build sustainable ways of working.
 
In this live, interactive 90-minute masterclass, you’ll explore how to work more effectively within time, rather than trying to manage time itself. You’ll gain practical tools to help you prioritise, stay focused and perform at your best, even in demanding environments.
 
During the session, you will learn how to:
  • Prioritise tasks effectively and focus on what matters most
  • Plan, prepare and perform with greater clarity and intention
  • Overcome procrastination and build consistent momentum
  • Manage stress and understand its impact on productivity
  • Strengthen your resilience through energy, purpose and wellbeing
  • Use reflection and simple productivity techniques to improve your workflow
You will also explore how purpose, energy and stress influence your ability to stay motivated and productive, helping you build habits that support long-term success.
 
Meet your host: Stephen Mordue, speaker, writer and educator, brings over 20 years of professional experience alongside deep expertise in wellbeing, self-care and productivity. As the author of How to Thrive at Work, Stephen’s work focuses on helping individuals build resilience and take ownership of their performance through his ‘Three Pillars’ model.
This session supports the development of key Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs), including time management, self-management, resilience and personal effectiveness. It can also contribute towards your off-the-job training or continuing professional development.
 
Reserve your place today and take a practical step towards working smarter, not harder.
