Summer Update
The 2014 Caribbean summer is a very, very hot one. Here in Jamaica, we are suffering from drought conditions, leaving the surroundings brown and dusty. Nevertheless, the work at Framework continues.
Perfect Time-Based Productivity
My second book is entering its final stages as I ready it for the final, professional edit. It’s a how-to for anyone interested in boosting their time-based productivity skills working on their own. It will be published in September 2014 in Kindle format, when it will be available on Amazon.com. My writing and re-writing has taken me into some deep research in a number of areas that together, provide a composite picture that I believe to be unique.

Appearance on TVJ
I made a recent appearance once again on TelevisionJamaica, to talk about an article I wrote called Shut Up and Listen.
In the article, I imagined what it would take to keep a great employee if all of a sudden they became wealthy – like the guys who were fortunate enough to be working for WhatsApp when it was bought by Facebook for $19b.
Tune into the show and/or read the article and let me know what you think in the comments below.

International Coach Federation – Speech
I recently received some good news – I’ll be speaking at the ICF Midwest Conference in Cleveland Ohio in June. It’s the largest gathering of coaches in North America and a great honour to be speaking on how to become an expert at delivering time management coaching.

A New Special Report
In my work with Time Advisers (consultants, professional organizers, coaches and trainers) I often find people who work hard to make a difference with their clients but often find it hard to make a difference. It’s predictable; helping people to make changes to the way they manage their time is tough, and it’s not as easy as helping them learn a simple new task.
Working with Janice Russell, I recently co-published a new special report entitled The 8 Fatal Assumptions that Time Advisers Make. It’s available as a free download from my website for time advisers.
Project Management Institute Conference in Port of Spain
I’ll be speaking at the Project Management Institute Southern Caribbean Chapter (PMISCC)Conference in Port of Spain on September 17th – 18th. It’s another opportunity to interact with project managers and to share the power of improving time management capabilities during a project.
The presentation will build on the story told in Bill’s Im-Perfect Time Management Adventure in which the protagonist is a project manager who is trying to save himself, his project and his team from low productivity and an impending layoff.
The PMISCC conference link can be found here.
Update: After the conference I set up a page with all the information you need to completely relive the experience of being there, including the live recording, the slides and the paper I presented. Reducing the Risk of Un-Productive Team Members.
20 Year Anniversary
2 Years ago, I left a secure job with AT&T Bell Labs to start my own company – becoming an entrepreneur once my resignation was accepted. I had a lots of support, and that’s the only reason why I am still doing what I do today, here at Framework Consulting.
It’s been a real roller-coaster ride and many things, like writing a book, took a lot longer than I first envisioned. I have learned that nothing should happen before its time, among other lessons.
So whether you are a current or past client, an ex-employee, or just a well-wisher, please join me in a feeling of profound gratitude.
