Pre-Course Assessment

Basic Principle 110:45
In this section I will present the 6 principles that are most important in making you effective. These principles work together to create both an accumulative and a synergistic effect, which will drastically improve your effectiveness.

Implementing and using these principles on a day to day basis will reduce stress, give you a much higher feeling of being in control, and save you time which you can re-invest or reclaim to avoid working long hours.

A conservative estimate, based on us having taught this material to 3000+ employees inside the company I work for, will be 1-2 hours saved per week, but some people may even save up to 1-2 hours per workday!
