Course Description
The course on Developing Effective Work Relations and Time Management is a composite course requested by students. And, it includes two already successful courses: Getting Results by Building Relationships and Developing Effective Time Management Habits.
Getting Results by Building Relationships
Have you ever been frustrated by your work relationships? Do you find it hard to integrate in a new job? Do you need to build or maintain a professional credibility? Do you want to be part of a professional family?
Here you will find an answer. Getting Results by Building Relationships is a very focused and extremely practical course, for the use of business and industry professionals.
In this section, you'll learn how to build good relationships and achieve results by:
laying a strong and effective collaborative foundation
building professional credibility, and
developing ethical reciprocity patterns.
You are going to learn how to make a good first impression, build an effective and lucrative rapport with your co-workers, win confidence and and deal with conflicts to get results.
The video lectures and documents that form the course include practical examples and tolls for getting results by building relationships.
In not more than 2 hours of study you will master 9 techniques that will boost your career and, and maybe more important, make your life easier.
Developing Effective Time Management Habits
Do you want to work smarter and have more time for yourself? Do you want to consistently achieve good results and reach your objectives? Do you want to spend more time with your family and friends?
Stop wasting your time!
Change your work habits! It's easy and you can learn here how. You just need to acquire or develop good habits in three areas: work environment, technology and “time-stealers."
You will learn how to control your work environment, how to use technology to help you be more efficient, how to respond to unreasonable demands of others, how to prevent procrastination and avoid “time-stealers".
You will learn how to develop the habits that you need to be in control of your time, and stop reacting inefficiently to demands that are made on you. And, you will learn how to organize your work environment, and how to employ technology so that it is serving you and not waste your time.
You will also understand "time stealers", and develop strategies to prevent the waste of time they represent. Good time management habits don't happen by accident. Learn, practice and be consistent. You will get here the exact techniques to do so.
You will have video lectures that include real examples, exercises and case studies; quizzes to check your knowledge level and a small optional course project to help you practice your time management skills.
You have a 30 days money back guarantee, no question asked. And, the discounted access to many other management and personal development courses. (HARVEL-3W6B0)

My work relations have never been worse, I had too much work to do and not enough time to do it in. I had to start working smarter and not harder. I needed to develop a better work schedule and I needed to learn to say no to meetings that weren't important. I didn't know how I would find time to learn these skills, but then I found this Udemy course that taught me all I needed to know to become a more effective and productive employee.

This is an amazing course on time management that I highly recommend. I like to learn more about time management so I am always looking for new courses to take on Udemy. This course is intense, but it teaches you the best ways to manage your time effectively. Sorin is a very engaging speaker who makes the material easy to follow and understand. This course was a huge help for me, especially because Sorin is able to give you real-life examples of how to put his strategies into practice. If you are looking for a time management course, I would highly recommend this one.

I've had a lot of trouble managing my work time in the past and I decided to take this course because I really want to get better at it. This course is great because it teaches you how to manage your time better, how to get tasks done without sacrificing quality, and how to effectively communicate with your co-workers and clients. I'm so glad I took this course because it helped me a lot and I feel like I'm back on a better and more organized path.

I signed up for this course to learn how to manage my time and how to be more effective at work. After taking the course, I've learned time management skills that I can immediately apply to my workplace. I can now stay focused on my work and I can work through distractions without feeling stressed. I've learned that developing effective work relationships can help me get more done at work. I now have more co-workers who are willing to help me get my work done.

The course material was good and very informative. I learned a lot of valuable information and will be able to apply this to real world scenarios. My only complaint is the videos themselves. They are very distracting with the various square and rectangle colors sliding across the screen. They really need to be removed. Especially the first half in the Work Relations portion. It almost hurt my eyes to watch. If that wasn't on the video, it would be much better and easier to watch.

The text that displays to read along with the course is completely nonsensical as it is completely garbled, haphazard arrangement of random words and not even full sentences throughout. Picture the worst autotext/talk-text you can think of, and that is what's throughout the whole course! It makes absolutely no sense, and even contains OFFENSIVE words and phrases occasionally - which I understand are not meant to be there, but they are. I totally understand that Sorin has a strong accent when speaking English. I took a separate course from him - Performance Under Pressure - that I thoroughly enjoyed and rated 4.5 stars! In that course, he spoke much more clearly, more slowly, and therefore I was able to understand him pretty well. Also, in that course, the text matched what he was saying about 99 percent of the time. Sorin, I strongly suggest you re-record this course, or completely edit the text to match what you are saying. You definitely want to read what's there - it's terrible (!). Having taken your other course, I know you wouldn't want this to be associated with your name because you're actually a very good instructor in the other one. :( Definitely was disappointed here.
By Saban Tafaj on 5/20/2018
Never had any time management skills before. I thought I need to refield test everything because none of the current time management stuff worked. I think this course is perfect and worth my investment. I already got enough done to make back a lot of money. Thanks and I highly recommend it. I don't like courses with 101 and one ways with fluff. This course is focused and it works for me. One of the best courses I have taken on Udemy. This actually helps a lot with my schedule.
By Gyula Tar on 4/9/2017
The course content helped me to think about time management in ways that I have not before. The instructor definitely new his stuff and made each point in a clear concise way. Easy to follow and learned that time management is based on a system. I like the system approach to time management. This is very helpful in helping me to reach my vision of myself. I always struggled to find a system that works, that is easy to follow, and most importantly, the "correct" way to implement it.
