Strategy Time

Align your strategy, save money, earn more and achieve your goals.

We find that quite often individuals and companies are struggling to achieve what they want because they have lost sight of their goals, aims and strategy.

If you want to save time, then reviewing the strategy, aims and ambitions for your or your company can dramatically impact on time savings, and saves your time and ultimately money and allows you to earn more.

When working with senior managers and their teams to review company strategy, we often also work with them as individuals to understand their personal goals and ambitions. By doing this we often find new, creative and dynamic strategic directions emege.

Your company is your people, your people take your company forward - Where do they want to go? Are you all going in the same direction?

Time For Skills

How often have you or your team wasted time because of mis-communications and misunderstandings? Improve listening and communication skills to save time.

Assertiveness:

Time For Tools

We help you to review your tools and processes to get more out of your time, energy, people and money

When we work with you to help you with time management, strategy or communication or marketing, we inevitably explore the tools and processes they use. Sometimes our clients' processes have evolved over many years and in association with different individuals who may no longer be working with them.

We work in association with a number of specialist professionals including HR, solicitors, marketing, finance, IT, graphic design, web design, print, Therefore, we are able to bring the best perspective and recommendations to enable you to get more from your precious resources.

Time is Marketing

Small Business Marketing Partnerships - save time and money

When we work with companies we enable them to save time, not just because of the direct support we provide, but we work to identify your target markets the most powerful key messages for your company, products and services and from there, the most effective communication channels for you to use:

• brand and corporate identity
• newsletter
• direct mail
• presentations for power-point etc
• brochures, leaflets and other literature
• point of sale
• events

This enables you to market yourself better because you and your staff are clear about how to represent you informally as well as through any marketing communications.

Time Management Workshops

We are planning a new series of Time Management workshops by January

We have found that our attitudes and struggles with time management highlight issues that impact our achievement and success across our personal and professional lives.

In addition to Time management tools, techniques and processes you will gain new perspectives of the key issues that strengthen your time management skills:-

• Strategy, plans, goals
• Personality
• Management, responsibility, projects, delegating, contracting, do you get the help you need? How do you become overloaded?
• Finance and how it influences time management
• Communication skills
• People skills

We are planning events ranging from 2 hour early evening sessions, half day and one day to allow these issues to be covered in depth.

We also provide one-to one consulting for private individuals and entrepreneurs, leaders, managers as well as teams.

Time for People

You and your people are your key to business success

Your people may have experience, qualifications and technical skills but if you are unable to lead or manage them, or if they are unable to work as a team or to put the customer first, you will be less likely to achieve your goals and will not be as successful.

Poor people skills wastes time and therefore, energy and money.

Power-Hours provides training and coaching in people skills including :

• Communication and listening skills - (can actually improve your revenue by 80%)
• Customer service
• Leadership
• Management
• Assertiveness
• Presentation skills

Time for Success

What does success mean to you?

We find that many of our clients want to be successful, but haven't really thought about what it means to be successful.

This can mean that they work and work and work but never seem to get where they want to be.

We work with company owners, managers, leaders, professionals and private individuals to enable them to really tap into their own source of success.

We help them to overcome blocks, issues and solve problems that are inhibiting their achievement of success.
