Course Description
Are you ready to go from frazzled to focused? Are you starting to fray around the edges as you try to adjust to "the new normal"?
Let me help you to regain control, connection and calm while working from home.
You might be someone who is brand new to working from home, or you might have been working from home for a long time, but now you're trying to share space with partners, roommate and/or kids who are also trying to work (and learn) from home.
In this course, we cut through the noise (of 1000+ "best tips for working from home" articles) and I provide you with a step by step plan to reign in the chaos, get productive from home, and even enjoy it.
Imagine how it would feel if you were able to:
Disconnect from work in the evening, even when you're working AT home.
Get your important work done, even though you've got your kids, partner or even pets competing for your attention during the day.
Keep your work relationships healthy and maintain good will and camaraderie with your coworkers.
Feel confident that you're addressing the needs of your team, even when you no longer see them every day.
When you complete this course, you'll be able to:
Set boundaries (in time and space) so you can avoid letting work bleed into your home life
Stay focused (in the face of distraction) so you can get as much, if not more, done than when you were in the office
Communicate effectively (from a distance) so you maintain relationships and hit your goals
Stay connected (to your coworkers) so you don't lose touch and keep morale high
Manage your team (remotely) so that your team stays hyper-productive and you don't turn into a dreaded micromanager
Work productively from home even if you've got kids and pets you're responsible for
In short, you'll move from feeling frazzled to focused! You'll be productive and calm, when working from home.
This course is for you if:
You're having trouble separating work from home life
You're more distracted than ever right now (by your family, the comforts of home, or your incessant need to check the news)
You're feeling like you're out of the loop, or having more miscommunications you do in the office
You don't feel as connected to your team as you'd like to be
You know you need a game plan, but you're overwhelmed by all the "free tips" floating around the internet
The lectures in this course are complemented by exercises to help you set boundaries between work and home, identify and minimize distractions, decide on communication channels with your team and increase your focus even in the face of distractions. The exercises ensure that you apply the content from the lectures in a practical and pragmatic way so that you have an actionable game plan!
Enroll today to regain control of your time and boundaries, connection with your coworkers and team and calm in your home life!
PLEASE NOTE: This course was developed, filmed and edited from home (where I am "sheltering in place" due to the Coronavirus outbreak). As such, the production quality reflects the "at-home" nature of our currently reality and there is therefore comprised in large part with voiceover and slides content versus direct to camera video. If you have taken my "Time Management Mastery: Do More, Stress Less" course you might wonder why they were filmed differently, and this is why.

I help people do more and stress less while improving leadership and communication skills.
Yes, I want to kill it at work. But I also want a great life outside of work, with lots of time for myself. Don’t you?
But instead:
- You find yourself feeling like the day just slips away, with not much crossed off the list.
- The work does get done...eventually, but you’re exhausted.
- Those personal projects? They’ve fallen by the wayside. You’ve got the best of - intentions but it just. Doesn’t. Happen.
That’s where I come in. I’ll help you:
- Stop constantly worrying that you have forgotten to do something, or are behind on something. And those things you aren’t doing? It’ll be because you CHOSE not to do them. Not because you dropped the ball.
- Prioritize effectively so that you can spend the right amount of time on the right things...for you, your family and your job.
- Have more time for play and rest, and kick any guilt about it to the curb.

Meh - a little dated at this point. A lot of the points were around WFH for the first time, like when the pandemic started, or when you're first introduced to working remotely. That's my fault though, I should have checked the date and level-set on my expectations. I thought it'd be more about improving your good habits or breaking the bad ones you'd formed after several years of WFH or working remotely, and not so much about establishing the habits to begin with. It'd be valuable for a first-time WFH-er, but I've been at it for years now.

I came here for help with focus, and came away with a number of helpful tips that I've already put into practice! While I may have heard many of these recommendations before, it was nice to refresh on it all in one organized course and finetune areas that I needed to. The instructor was engaging and pleasant to listen to. I like the worksheets to apply the concepts to my own situation; they are thoughtfully designed.

This was a wonderful course because in the world we're living in right now, some have to work from home. Therefore discussing what we can do to make working from home productive was great. I gave this four stars!

I don't have kids so it was annoying to have to listen to this whole section about kids activities. But otherwise, I love workbook, checklists, resources guides, etc that have practical suggestions and solutions to review afterwards.
By Anonymized User on 3/26/2021
I enjoyed it, although a lot was not new information or this was how I have been working from home anyways, but it was presented well! I loved the section on ideas for kids, but my kids have kids, so it didn't really apply to my situation, but I will certainly pass the information along!

I implemented so of the recommendations as soon as I heard them - specifically, limiting my notifications. I am excited because those are definitely a source of distraction for me but I never thought to change it.

Our team has transitioned to working from home full time. I want to ensure that I am productive and can help my team be productive. Going to start taking a quick walk during my lunch break. Will get me out of the house and get my blood moving. This will be a change, as I tend to stay at my desk all day! Intentional Breaks are ringing a bell. :)

A very good summary of Essential skills for working from home. Very precised, easy understanding and focusing on how to managing our time and doing our remote work more productively within an hour course time constraint.
By Sylvia Quinteros on 6/4/2020
I am at home teleworking and have to account for my time - when you put on a section for management that really doesn't apply to me, but I can't progress to get my certificate, I don't know how to explain to my boss.
By Thelisa Nunley on 4/23/2020
This is a good course and very practical since many of us are home right now due to the Corona Virus. She has some good ideas and tips that are easy to follow. I also like the workbook that she provides. And, she is easy to listen to. This is information I can definitely use!
