What people say

"This is a well-structured course which provides practical tools to manage time in both work and home situations. The follow up coaching session is invaluable with helping to implement techniques learnt."
Toni Deas, Key Account Manager - Food Laboratory, Cawthron Institute

"I found that the personal productivity course taught organisational skills and provided tools that were directly applicable to me in my workplace.
As I am a naturally disorganised person, these skills and tools have helped me become more organised, efficient and less ‘bogged down’ in paperwork."
Bryan Stokes, Natural Toxins Technician, Cawthron Institute.

What people say

“BDC helped our leaders to develop an awareness of the mechanics of leading teams and the skills needed to do that well. In essence, our leaders have gained knowledge of the process: to stop and think, know what they need to do, have the skills to do it or engage others to assist where needed.”

Sarah Brown, Human Resources Manager, Cawthron Institute
