Why is this course important?

Last year was busy and you've just enjoyed Christmas and New Year with your friends and family. Now it's time to get back to work, and while starting a new year is exciting, it’s also a little daunting. Even if you're looking forward to getting back to work, you might already feel overwhelmed with everything that you know that you need to do this year.

Rather than make this year like every other, why not take some time to get clear about what you hope to achieve over the next 12 months. Instead of waiting for your manager, team leader or supervisor to tell you what they want you to accomplish, how about you take the initiative and develop your own plan for what you want to achieve at work, and in your personal life?

Getting Yourself Organised, Motivated and Focused for the Next 12 Months will show you how to get focused, stay organised, be motivated and ready for success throughout the year ahead.
