There’s a myriad of productivity technologies out there – software and hardware products ten deep – all offering to enhance your productivity. Each comes with a set of features designed to seduce the imagination – bells and whistles upon bells & whistles. The competing ads and claims can be confusing and discouraging. “Which one do I want?”, you wonder; “Which one fits my style?” “Which will deliver?”

People try to imagine themselves using that new smart phone, their next laptop, the latest Microsoft gadgets or Google extension. However the conundrum isn’t the technologies or their features. The conundrum is us. The difficulty with selecting useful technology is just that: that it ends up being useful. If it doesn’t it just adds to the mass of more things that compete for and waste your productivity time. Few people have given any detached thought to their work habits, work environments, and communication circumstances. Mostly they buy, and then hope, that what they bought will work out, will magically be useful.

There is another way. You could have an expert DI productivity coach help evaluate your work environment, your structures, your networks, your communication requirements, and then beginning with your existing technologies, partner with you to build a plan for workability and for fulfilling your productivity concerns.

Whatever your challenge, whatever the topic . . . if you would like to address your work habits and work structures and technologies in a straightforward and creative manner, consider private productivity coaching. This is available for either individuals, or to small work groups. Programs are always individualized, designed by the coach and the client based on the outcomes the client desires.

EXAMPLE TOPICS:

• How do I design and set up my personal management tools & systems.
• What are the work habits and practices that restrict the productivity of our work group? How do we turn to productive occasions? How do we manage the agendas, assignments, promises, and throughput of our meetings?
• What structures for accountability do we need, and how do I set them up? Which ones will accomplish which outcomes?
• What do I do about interruptions? Are there patterns? How do I handle them – cut them to a minimum?
• Communication technologies – which one for what purpose? How can I cut my email volume in half.
• Too many projects? How can I keep my eye on the ball – what are the real results I want to produce and have produced?
• Why don’t I delegate? How do I break that habit, then how do I manage what I do delegate?
• How do I use group scheduling with my team? What are the benefits, and what practices do we need to adopt to make it really useful?
• How do we manage the conversations that move and shape our business results? What technologies are best for doing that?
