Northgate says...
"Trainers tell us how the cards stimulate some fantastic discussion about real situations that staff currently face. The debrief consolidates - and provides practical solutions to take back to the workplace."
- To be aware of one’s job description
- The need for a daily plan
- The need for clear objectives in your workload
- The importance of establishing priorities
- Learning to say “No!”
- Avoiding procrastination
- Identifying time-wasting activities
Ideally suited to:
All staff, to focus on simple, common sense ways to improve their personal time management - and make some permanent changes, for the better, back at work.
In small groups, simply work through a set of 30 cards, discuss the issues raised and reach a conclusion.
The cards will help you all to analyse the way you use that precious commodity, time. Do you know exactly what you are supposed to be doing each day? Do you plan ahead properly? Are you aware of your ingrained time-wasting activities? Others cards will probe your organisation's approach to time management planning, individual responsibility and level of efficiency. Other cards give you specific tasks to do - all related to your use of time and personal effectiveness at work.
Be honest! You may uncover some unpalatable facts but it’s all with good humour and you won’t be alone! Leave with down-to-earth tips, techniques and simple rules you can easily practice back at work to make your time go further.
- Divide participants into teams.
- Issue each team with a set of the 30 unique cards.
- Observe teams at work.
- Issue Action Plans for completion.
- Lead a Debrief on the key learning points.

Daniel Houseman, Learning & Organisational Development Manager, Ribby Hall Village We have just used the ‘Personal Effectiveness Cards’ Training Activity and it went very well. It generated a lot of discussion which was great. Thank you Northgate!

Susannah Hopwood, Consultant, Summerfield Sanders Lively, thought-provoking. I use the 'Personal Effectiveness Cards' activity as part of either a Time Management Course or a Managing for Effectiveness Programme with team leaders and middle managers. The best learning points are self awareness, sharing 'good' ideas, and a different approach. A quick and easy way to help people consider their current practices and identify ways they can improve. I think Northgate products are great – I’ve not bought one that doesn’t work yet – thank you.

Sarah Devenish, Service Delivery Manager, Total Gas & Power UK Used for time management – in a half day course. The 'Personal Effectiveness Cards' address all learning styles. It's not just a 'here’s how to do it' session - it generates discussion and thought processes from participants.
