Enhancements to NewHabits Foundations

Over the past year, we have made several major enhancements to the NewHabits time management and productivity programmes.

the programme now includes 6 games, 2 of which are electronic instructional simulations. Gamification is here to stay as a design principle for all Framework programmes after seeing the success of these initial efforts.
a new email Inbox module was created in the form of a recorded webinar. Participants have enjoyed this new focus as it zeros in a problem that many have in managing the time demands that come into their lives.
a new set of levels within the White Belt grade. This has given more participants some reachable goals to strive for.

This is just the beginning of the firm’s commitment to provide the world’s best, insanely great training in individual time management.

Speaking at the ICD Conference

I have the honour of speaking at the annual conference of the Institute for Challenging Disorder (ICD) in Chicago, IL in September.

The Institute offers training to professional organizers who work with clients who suffer from chronic disorganization. I’ll be doing both a speech and a workshop on how organizers can be effective in working with clients to reduce Time Clutter.

Here’s a link to the ICD website with the speakers listed.

Articles: Trinidad and Jamaica

In my Trinidadian and Jamaican columns I have written recent articles about doing business after the State of Emergency in T&T, and the need to re-think the annual planning retreat.

Recent Projects

Here is a short sample of some of the projects we have been involved with recently.

A Washington, DC – based non-profit asked us to help them devise and implement their on-line engagement strategy.

A Caribbean snack and food company hired us to act as their head of Human Resource while conducting a search for a replacement.

We are also part of a project team due to start soon in Trinidad that involves doing the strategic planning for a financial institution.

Another financial institution in Jamaica has hired us to train over 100 of its employees in our latest time management and productivity techniques.

Regular Gleaner Column

Good news for those who read my contributions to the Jamaica Gleaner on productivity. I have been asked to contribute a regular column on a short-term contract, so articles should be appearing every other week. Of course, there is also an on-line version at the newspaper’s website.

Update: Here is the first article entitled “Why We aren’t Doing Enough About Jamaica’s Productivity“

Presentation at the Jamaica Employer’s Federation Convention

The countdown is on to the beginning of the JEF Convention 2011. It’s the biggest conference of it’s kind in the English-speaking Caribbean and I’ll be making a presentation on Saturday, May 7th on the topic of Smartphone Productivity.

We recently conducted an interview with Wayne Chen – JEF President – on the conference and also the future plans for the organization. You can access the interview at http://radio.caribhrforum.com

Conference Presentations

I had some good news recently — a paper I wrote was accepted by the annual conference at the Institute of Industrial Engineers in Reno Nevada.

I’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.

Also, I’ll be presenting at the Jamaica Employer’s Federation Conference, here in Kingston. The topic is likely to be the same — a dry run of sorts for the IIE presentation.

Both of these events will take place in May 2011.

Time Management 2.0

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.

A recent article I wrote entitled “Why Jamaicans Have to Migrate to Become Productive” was published in the Gleaner and received a good amount of feedback, while generating an interesting discussion.

The link to the Gleaner article can be found here: http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20101205/business/business8.html

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:

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:
