Extraordinary Productivity: The 5 Choices™ That Drive Success

Career demands and information overload can hurt our ability to think clearly.

It’s harder to make wise decisions, and the goals that matter most in our professional and personal lives get shortchanged, or worse, not accomplished at all. This course combines current neuroscience research with proven productivity principles to help you better manage your decisions, attention and energy. Learn to apply a process and maximize the use of Microsoft Outlook® that can dramatically increase your ability to achieve life’s most important outcomes by consistently making choices that create extraordinary value for yourself and your organization.

Course Reviews

  • Deoranie R., Reception/Office Administrator Oct 8, 2025

    Instructor was very knowledgeable and gave a vey good presentation.Conduct the training in an interactive method gave personal input as it applied to the specific items being discussed.

  • Chris C., Graphic Designer Aug 20, 2025

    Very well done, Janet was energetic, concise and knowledgeable. The course was broken up perfectly into break-out sessions, videos, chats and breaks.

  • Past Participant, Strike Group Jun 28, 2022

    Was not a lot of new concepts or ideas, however the instructor was very good at keeping the class engaged and the ideas flowing

  • Past Participant, Walkerton Clean Water Centre Mar 29, 2022

    The seminar was informative but very slow paced. We would wait ten minutes for every attendee to type an answer to every question, which was about every 5 minutes. A lot of time killed sitting around waiting for people to answer. Could have just been a quick group discussion or wait for two or three attendee responses, not everyone.
