About The Workshop:

The need for the workshop. All the resources that we possess or come to generate are merely derivatives of how we use time, our only fundamental resource! Executives the world over, ironically in this age of speed, are realizing that their real and useful output after an apparently hard and hectic day is usually dismally low as compared to their input in terms of time and energy spent during the day.
One thing that is becoming more and more clear is the fact that it is not merely the amount of time but also the special intelligence with which time is used that determines how much real headway we make every day as an individual or collectively as an organization. I have coined a new term for this special intelligence. I call this special intelligence as ‘Time Intelligence’.
A time-intelligent person is clear and enthusiastic about his life-purpose, vision, value hierarchy and goals based on them. He has a clear idea of how his personal goals are dovetailed with those of his organization and how they are interdependent. . He does not necessarily spend more time than others at work but he works much more smartly and with concentration.. He is not only effective and efficient but is in the habit of looking back at the present from the eyes of future and act proactively. He has learnt not only how to distinguish between urgent and important things but also how not to lose sight of the important under the pressure of the urgent. He prioritizes his jobs like an expert and is in the habit of ceaselessly repeating the pertinent question, “What could be the best use of the present moment?” under his breath, like a mantra.
The level of time-intelligence that the people in an organization attempt their work with decides the speed, quality and direction they give to the company. On an average, time planning pays off four to one in time savings.
Most of the stress and impediments to effective and efficient working in our personal and corporate lives are caused not by situations we confront but because of our inability to respond timely and adequately to these. When we do not learn how to respond correctly to day to day situations, we learn to do so wrongly by default and in ways counterproductive to our own interests. Developing time intelligence is the answer.
How this workshop is different from those on the same subject: ‘Developing Time Intelligence’ is not one among any of the run-of-the-mill workshops on time management. Unlike other usual workshops on the subject, instead of sermonizing on what the participants should or should not do, this workshop directly sets out to identify the elements of the mental software that shape our responses. Having done that, it programs the transformation of these elements at the very subconscious level through a precise and easy to use mechanism. It makes it difficult, thereby, for the participants to ever behave in their old unproductive and self-defeating ways. The workshop promises lasting attitudinal change towards time and is one of the best available in this field. It does not seek to impart knowledge about time management; it seeks to develop one’s intelligence to use one’s time more effectively through an awareness of the value of time and by triggering a process of gradual but ceaseless transformation of one’s attitude and habits.
Time Intelligence does not only mean how to squeeze in more tasks in a day’s work. More importantly it means identifying, prioritizing and doing right things in the right way in the right amount of time and in the right manner so as to satisfy oneself completely on all fronts. Often when even our planning is reasonable our ability to implement it fails us miserably. A majority of managers fail to realize that providing the proper planning (nutritious food) is not enough; along with the creation of a proper environment, one also needs to ensure within oneself and among the team members the mental and emotional readiness (the appetite) for it too.
There is often an unresolved incongruity between real priorities at the subconscious level and the ones that we consciously thrust upon ourselves. In addition to this there is often an inability to identify and overcome our hidden biases for and preoccupation with certain kind of fruitless activities and/or our weakness for choosing what is easy for the present moment and letting the difficult pile up for tomorrow. Time Intelligence, therefore, begins with self-knowledge and involves fine tuning the priorities that we set for ourselves consciously with what our real needs are deep within. Any attempt that does not take care of these subtle realities can only bring lukewarm change at best; no wonder there are so few who succeed in inculcating real time intelligence skills.
This workshop considers the fact that most executives are intelligent enough to plan their time; what they fail at is not planning but implementation part of it. Yet usual workshops dedicate almost all their time to planning part of it. Hence, unlike usual workshops on time management, this one stresses not only on planning part of it but adequately also on identifying the real psychological bottlenecks that keep executives from sticking to their own plans. Time management is not merely a left-brained logical planning but more of cultivation of a spirited will and unswerving inner determination to stick to it--and this is what this workshop develops in the participants. This workshop develops among participants the real time-intelligence because of which they will be able to develop a consciousness to extract the best from each of their present moments. The workshop shall also enable participants to develop their own effective planning charts to take care of their unique shortcomings, needs and style.
Most of the organisations and people do talk about Time Management but tend to take it for granted or fail to address the real issues at its roots. Just like any other skill such as dancing, cycling and swimming one can learn how to cultivate Time-Intelligence. This programme helps participants doing just that.
Unlike the usual run-of-the-mill programmes, wherein 95 % of what one learns is forgotten quickly, this programme is mnemonic based so as to be retained better, introspection/self-awareness-driven, and focused on transforming habits (not on merely increasing knowledge–base). Apart from this the powerful exercises, games, meditation and use special techniques that reinforce the learning points in their subconscious mind so that the desired behavior or response becomes their second nature and flows effortlessly from them in a natural way. The participants get a new way of looking at life with the replacement of all their limiting beliefs with vibrantly positive ones.
