I didn't get enough time in the break out rooms or in the case study about Tom, I would have like to had the time to read the doc fully and pick it apart. More of a look on the human behavior and why we do what we do would be fun.

-
Jeff Wagner, SideFX Oct 4, 2019
Janelle was wonderful in her presentations and brought relevant real world examples in to the discussions. She managed the group very well identifying everyone's areas of strength and more importantly how to improve our management of finite time. Janelle was a treat! She used her own strengths and challenges with the group against our own. She kept my interest level high and on target. Her knowledge in the area of personal effectiveness was excellent and used that to help steer the sessions. The course is targeting directly at time management and offers a way forward to improve in this area with key tools that can be used moving forward. The course offers many areas to work on beyond the course to help improve in this area.

Toni Pozzebon, Ferring Inc Jul 22, 2019
Layout of the modules was perfect for the course criteria. Marilyn went above and beyond the course framework, making it personal for each participant which I found very helpful for my own takeaway use.Everyone at all levels should take this course, if just as a reminder how to manage their time more efficiently.
-
Past Participant, Allied Properties REIT Jul 22, 2019
She was well spoken, passionate on the subject and kept a good pace for the entire day. Her personable, yet professional manner, was an asset to the effectiveness of the course. The fact that this course focused more on how you perceive time as opposed to "just one more tip/trick to juggle priorities" really resonated with me. You will definitely leave the course with a new outlook on your time, goals and priorities.

It was great that Marilyn really took time to lend her ears to what each of us had to share, then came up with her response. The session was pretty interactive with not just one person doing the talking. It will be greatly helpful/handy if all of the slides are shared with the people who participated in the workshop on Jul 19, 2019. Thanks & appreciated. Whatever thoughts/ideas/concepts the facilitator shared/explained/communicated with us was clear overall, the only thing being that she was way too fast, at times. Very well organized!

Great way to apply a different perspective to your everyday tasks and group with other professionals and listen to their tips too. It really opened my eyes to time-wasters vs. time-consuming tasks. The facts and tools were a helpful way to learn too. Francine's delivery of the course was fantastic, with relevant examples and applications so that I could better understand and ingrain the concepts. It has helped me feel more confident, armed with tools and knowledge to reduce my stress level by acknowledging and avoiding time-wasters and being proactive by taking the time to plan and organize.

The course introduced some new tools for me I was unaware of that I will definitely be utilizing in my day-to-day. It was enjoyable and helpful content. Anne was very bright and engaging. Her use of stories to convey a message and a meaning to that message were very effective. She was warm and inviting - and clearly very knowledgeable about her content. It was a pleasure working with her. Overall a great course! Anne was awesome and the people at CMC were so helpful and inviting. My only thing to nit-pick on was the lunch provided: kinda blah and really cold.

Past participant, Trisura Guarantee Insurance Company Jul 20, 2017
Having the interactions with coursemates was good but I would have preferred a more even balance of hearing Laura's imput/knowledge and table work. Everything Laura said was great, I just wanted more of it relative to the amount the 'table' came up with. It could be the structure of the course, but I felt like Laura had even more information she could have shared but we spent so much time on table work with others, her part was cut short. I understand that coming up with the solutions ourselves is important for sustained takeaways, but I would have liked to hear more of what Laura had to say on each component before moving on to the next. This was a worthwhile course. While group work was good, I would have liked to have some sort of 'one on one' time with an instructor as well, but the reality is, that is a bit too big an ask for a one day course unless you have more instructors. (It just felt a bit funny to be getting advice from and working on a plan with table mates who I know struggle with the same issues I do! )

The course went far beyond expectations, it provided concrete method to adapt the materials to my every day life. Marilyn was excellent, making sure that every attendee was able to derive positive value from the course As previously, the facilitator was incredible at making sure that everyone had a positive experience. Within the confines of the time/space she was able to customize the information as it applied to our concerns and challenges. I was impressed with the course material, the manner of presentation and the skill of the facilitator. The only negative comment I have is about the food available at the lunch, everything was at room temperature.

The course is good except that there are some portions or suggestions, guidelines in the course content that we know may not be applicable to everybody. Great reference materials but would request more examples for people to relate how to apply certain concepts of the course. The CMC space is a great space for holding these types of 1-2 day courses. The building is an easy distance from Union station for those coming from afar. The washrooms are clean. The beverages are an added bonus and the speaker was knowledgeable and professional.

Coming back into the office today (Monday) after having the Time Management workshop on Friday it was hard for me to remember what we had done. It would be great if I had signed up for one that was Mon-Thurs so that I could go to work and apply what I learnt the next day.
Marilyn was great, the only feedback I would provide is to be careful of sayings being used like "Chatty Cathy", or broad generalizations made of people, and those sayings/generalizations taking on a negative connotation. I could consider myself to be a chatty cathy.

Overall experience was great and facilitator has covered all the basic mechanisms of the Time Management. However, it would more beneficial to learn if there was a small part covered on how to efficiently manage your time by using the technology such as apps or softwares.
I was expecting to learn about some tools (software's or apps) to start and enhance my time management skills which was not a part of this course.
Some time spent on tech tools would have been more informative and useful for me.
