			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is a short sample of some of the projects we have been involved with recently.</p>
<p>A Washington, DC &#8211; based non-profit asked us to help them devise and implement their on-line engagement strategy.</p>
<p>A Caribbean snack and food company hired us to act as their head of Human Resource while conducting a search for a replacement.</p>
<p>We are also part of a project team due to start soon in Trinidad that involves doing the strategic planning for a financial institution.</p>
<p>Another financial institution in Jamaica has hired us to train over 100 of its employees in our latest time management and productivity techniques.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had some good news recently &#8212; a paper I wrote was accepted by <a href="http://www.iienet.org/annual2/" target="_blank">the annual conference at the Institute of Industrial Engineers in Reno Nevada</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll finalize the exact topic soon to reflect the latest research but you might have guessed that it has something to do with time management and the ways that we are all using the latest gadgets in ineffective ways.</p>
<p>Also, I&#8217;ll be presenting at the <a href="http://www.jamaicaemployers.com/mission.php" target="_blank">Jamaica Employer&#8217;s Federation</a> Conference, here in Kingston.  The topic is likely to be the same &#8212; a dry run of sorts for the IIE presentation.</p>
<p>Both of these events will take place in May 2011.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been fortunate to be able to present the ideas I have been working on in Time Management 2.0 in a variety of fora.</p>
<p>A recent article I wrote entitled &#8220;Why Jamaicans  Have to Migrate to Become Productive&#8221; was published in the Gleaner and received a good amount of feedback, while generating an interesting discussion.</p>
<p><a href="http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20101205/business/business8.html">The link to the Gleaner article can be found here:  http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20101205/business/business8.html</a></p>
<p>Based on the article, I got a call from a producer at TVJ to come back on the morning show to speak to some of the ideas in the article.  The video can be found here:<br />
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XEsMKF1DRGI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XEsMKF1DRGI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<p><a href="http://fwconsulting.podomatic.com/entry/2011-01-15T15_54_43-08_00 ">Shortly after the interview, I gave a short speech at the Rotary Club of Downtown Kingston on the same topic, and the link to the audio recording can be found by clicking this link or uding the player below</a>:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the past few weeks, I have made a few public appearances on the topic of time management as it relates to information overload.  They include a speech, plus interviews on radio and television.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s interesting is that they all took place within the space of a week!</p>
<p>Here is the interview on TVJ on their early morning show: <br />
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="370" id="viddler_fwade_17"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/player/d78f0e33/"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"/><param name="allowFullScreen"value="true"/><param name="flashVars" value="f=1&#038;autoplay=f&#038;disablebranding=f"/><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/player/d78f0e33/" width="437" height="370" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" allowNetworking="all" name="viddler_fwade_17" flashVars="f=1&#038;autoplay=f&#038;disablebranding=f"></embed></object><br />
<br />
Here&#8217;s the speech I gave on the method I&#8217;m using to decide whether or not to choose a smartphone. <br />
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="370" id="viddler_fwade_18"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/player/d54574a5/"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"/><param name="allowFullScreen"value="true"/><param name="flashVars" value="f=1&#038;autoplay=f&#038;disablebranding=f"/><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/player/d54574a5/" width="437" height="370" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" allowNetworking="all" name="viddler_fwade_18" flashVars="f=1&#038;autoplay=f&#038;disablebranding=f"></embed></object><br />
<br />
I also gave an interview on the same topic of information overload on a radio show on Power 106FM &#8211; &#8220;Both Sides of the Story.&#8221;  It lasted about an hour and brought in several others to give their perspective, which made it interesting.  <a href="http://www.2time-sys.com/audio/">Simply visit the link to the 2Time Audios page and look for the audio on Information Overload</a>.<br />
<br />
Let me know what you think of these either here in the comments, or over at my Facebook page.</p>
